What OS do you use?

[Psion]

Why not just get XP for the new machine then?

Wasn't an option.

My new machine at work runs z/OS 1.8, heh heh. No D&D stuff on it, though I did run a dice-rolling probability program. it took something like six hours to run on a machine with thirteen processors.

I was an Apple IIe user until I got my first Mac...and have been a Mac user ever since.

Currently, I'm using 2 G4s- one running OSX & 9 and another OSX only- an iMac running OS 8 and an aging laptop.

I've been forced to use PCs from time to time in the work environment- some websites don't support Safari or Netscape well, and IE for Mac hasn't been updated in a while. Some specialized professional programs don't work well with emulation chips or software.

But until they stop making Macs, I won't buy anything else for my personal use. I simply don't like the Win/tel environment.

In fact, I just turned down a free (used, but in excellent condition) Dell last week.

Wasn't an option.

I meant it more like getting an XP now and install it instead or in addition to the existing Vista.

Would be a shame to let the new computer go to waste, because you hate the OS, wouldn't it?

Bye
Thanee

WinXP Pro on the desktop and WinXP Home on the laptop

Does Camino work well generally? Granted Camino won't do squat with ActiveX. Most sites work great on Windows Firefox (other than ActiveX), I'm surprised you have many sites that don't work well on Netscape.

Me: Linux. w/ Virt. Machine running XP for one application only (work-related).
Roommate: Linux.
File server: Linux.
Buddy from work (who I hang with): Linux.
Buddy's roommate: Linux.

I guess I just hang with a different crowd than most people.

My PC has Windows XP.

Sometimes I think about Linux, but then my laziness prevails...

Doesn't get much easier.

I use Win2k at home. And, until I recently lost my job, I used Vista at work.
