What OS do you use?

[Plane Sailing]

WinXP pro.

I didn't want to vote for it though, because it might seem like it was a vote for Vista which (unfortunately) I despise.

( I do have an OS/X macbook for website testing too, but I'd hardly say that I use it much)

 

[Psion]

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?

That's a possibility.

It's not like it'll go to waste, though. It just gives me an incentive to actually spend a little time and effort to upgrade my old laptop. Which is a bit more effort than upgrading desktops.

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).

It does? I'm sorry, I must not be understanding what you mean. What does it matter if you have multiple computers or one? You use WinXP and OS X, and check both.

 

[XCorvis]

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?"

I suppose that would have been a bit more accurate, but the thread would have come with a lot more vitriol. This way it has a bit more general interest.

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

Nope. I loves my Vista. I'm annoyed that I have to wait at work, though XP is still miles above anything Mac or Linux.

I love you, man, but you gotta lay off the dope a bit...

What I really need to do is stop reading the DDI threads. They are rather "mood altering".

There's something seriously wrong with Enworld's poll math. The percentages add up to way over 100%. Still, Mac/Linux/Unix/other still add up to 42% of the total by my calculations. That jives with my casual observation over the years that gamers tend to be less Windows centric than the general population.

It's a multiple choice poll.

For example, I voted for XP, Linux and OS/X, even though OS/X is now my primary OS.
