What OS do you use?

[ssampier]

I have Windows XP Pro on desktop and Windows XP Home on laptop.

At work, I have Windows XP Pro on desktop and laptops. Servers, I have bunch of different OSes, including Red Hat linux Enterprise, Windows 2000, Novell Netware, and even one Windows NT machine (really need to get rid of that).

My main computer uses Windows XP. I also have a Win98 box, which I kept around just so that I could play Mechwarrior 3.

Anyone notice that the percentages in the poll total way above 100%

Some of us have multiple computers. Some computers have multiple OS on them.

I voted for XP, OS/X and Linux.

Yes.

Three WinXP laptops, 1 WinXP desktop, 1 Win2k desktop, 1 Linux desktop / server, 1 Mac desktop.

Yes, which, while I suppose it makes the poll a more complete representation of the OSes represented here, invalidates the underlying agenda of the poll which ought to be "is the DDI unavailable to you due to the DirectX platform choice?"

Anyways...

Vista and XP at home on desktops, 2k on the aging laptop I don't use anymore.

It also gives people who use multiple OSes a statistical oddity. I have four computers that I use regularly (work, family desktop, home server, personal laptop). All the OSes (XP, Vista Home Pro, NT 2003, Vista Ultimate) are under one selection. I'm significantly underrepresented compared to the guy who has a Mac at home and a PC at work.

I surprised at home many use OSX.

For me, work comp: OSX. Two home comps: OSX.

This poll has a major flaw in that in will not account people who own multiple computers with different OS ( I won a Mac with OS X and a PC with Windows XP).

 

[Brentos]

Vista

I must be the only Vista lover here. Ahhh well....

Yeah, it's an internet poll. Entertainment purposes, external use only, do not taunt, etc.

I've got two Macs and one PC, so if one person couldn't make a game, I could theoretically host the rest of us around the table, while the 4th person played along at home (on his home box). Dunno if this kind of mixed-mode gaming is supported, but it would help my group. (As would OS/X support, of course.)
