What operating system do you use?

[Mgeterno11]

Hi everyone,
I am interested in the communitiy's operating system usage? What kind of operating system do you use? If you have more then tell which one do you prefer and why?

 

[fladdermasken]

Suppose this is better due for the computer tech forum.

Anyways, Windows 7. No particular reason why.

It's not really a problem, I just think the computer tech forum would be more fit for this thread.

Computer Tech Forum

By popular demand, this computer technology discussion forum has been created as a designated board for The Hive Workshop community to discuss all matters related our computers and their accompanying technologies.

You might get some more intricate and profound replies is all.

You can also add "React OS". It's the beta system I was using for a while. Not many people uses it, but you asked if somebody is using another. ^^

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

On earlier PCs was with XP, on my current for 2.5 years with Vista x32 and since last summer - Win 7 x64. Luckily they have drivers for it, runs fine, now need to upgrade my video to crossfire.

 

[Gilles]

You should have made the poll multiple choice, I use more than one; as I'm sure others do. Also "Macintosh" should be OSX.

 

[Dr Super Good]

You left out a whole number of OS choices, such as android, the 360's OS, the PS3's OS, etc...

 

[Crazed_seal2]

I use Windows XP and 7

 

[Tank-Commander]

Well it depends on which computer in the house I'm using but mostly I use the Windows 7 one.
Although if I were to list /all/ the ones I use it'd be Windows Xp, Windows Vista and Windows 98 (which isn't on the list) as well.

 

[Ironside]

Windows 7.

Yeah but they are OSs for consoles and mobile phones not for computers

Oh, and i use Windows XP

 

[GIANT_CRAB]

Windows 8 beta is out.
I use an operating system powered by this company called 'GIANT_CRAB'.
The operating system is called GIANT_CRAB.
The OS is very powderful!
It can do many stuffs, it can run all OS games! Even xbox, android, iPhone!
It has the best security! Even better than linux.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIANT_CRAB more information about this OS.

 

[The Wizard]

7) i see everybody likes it) but XP is rather good too)

 

[Dr Super Good]

You might believe a console runs on magic or belief but in mater of fact they are computers. People have even managed to get the PS3 booted with a custom version of linux.

About that PS3 and linux thing i didn't knew, but i meant that this thread was reffered, if i am right, to operating systems designed for PCs

As a matter of fact...people even got to make PS1, PS2, and Nintendo games working on Android, just saying...

 

[Magtheridon96]

I use Windows 7 and Mac OS X (10.6.4)
I'm going to upgrade it to Mac OS X (10.7.x), but I'm too lazy.

You should've made the poll multiple-choice.

 

[Malygos10]

[Oscar Mike 2.o]

I use Windows 7 not my choice the computer already has it.

 

[UndeadImmortal]

Windows 8

It's obvious what the intent of the thread was, please stop trying to impress people with your knowledge.

Going to try Windows 8 probably. Didn't realize it was in Beta, and I'm a little weary of XP.

 

[Adaethus]

Windows 7.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Windows 7 (64-bit) on two machines, Ubuntu 11.10 (64-bit), Windows XP (32-bit), Ubuntu 10.04 (32-bit), Linux Mint 12 (32-bit) and EasyPeasy 1.6 (32-bit).

Windows because most of my software runs on Windows and various Linux distros because I can't decide which is better, and I like open source. EasyPeasy because I'm too lazy to do anything about it, originally tested it for a friend of mine who's part of the development team (though I think they've stopped working on it).

__
Oh, and if we're doing previous systems, my first computer ran on MS-DOS. Then I upgraded to Win 3.11, and then another Win 3.xx as far as I recall. Tried Windows 95 when it was released, didn't like it and it kind of lagged - yay - so I went back to Win 3.11 or something. I skipped 98 altogether myself and got Millenium (or Windows Me), which was absolute shite, but I didn't really use computer all that much any more in that period. Upper Elementary(?) and High School was serious business a party hard affair, and I hardly spent time home at all. At some point in-between Elementary and College, though, I got myself XP. Then I got Vista after I started studying at University six years ago. Finally getting Windows 7 back in April, last year. Altogether, I most fondly remember MS-DOS. I disliked XP so bad, ugliest OS Microsoft ever did. As for Linux, I've encountered Red Hat before, but I started using Ubuntu 7 as my first open-source OS. I used it purely in Terminal because, you know, MS-DOS nostalgia.

 

[EloTheMan]

I use Windows 7, I've had 98, XP and Vista before and I must say that no other windows OS run as smoothly as Windows 7.

 

[Magtheridon96]

I'm going to use Linux in the future so that people would think I'm an intellectual bastard.
Windows 7 is too mainstream and thus too n00by.
Vista is horrible.
XP is veteran-ish.
98 and 95 are veteran-ish-er.

Mac OS X is great for managing music, videos and any kind of media file.

 

[Adiktuz]

I've used XP,Linux [hardy heron] and right now Windows 7... I've seen Windows8 but I kinda don't like the looks of that one...

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

66.67 % Win rate, gg already?

[HINDYhat]

Windows 7 mostly and Arch Linux occasionally. I've tried Ubuntu in the past, and I once installed Gentoo but immediately regretted it.

 

[Hexcellion]

I use Windows Vista.

 

[Ralle]

Re-opened by request.

All my servers run Linux.

My work laptop runs Windows 7, so does my desktop gamer PC.

My primary computer is my laptop though, which is a Mac running Mac OS X.

 

[Adiktuz]

wow, Ralle have lots of computers...

My laptop runs Windows 7 home premium, my office desktop runs Windows 7 ultimate

 

[nhs325]

Windows 7 for both my laptops, and Window XP for my PC.

 

[SA Dashie]

Windows 8.
Apparently the only one that does... xD

I'd still rather it on my home desktop than any other OS.

 

[Deleted member 219079]

Ain't nobody got money for dat (w8)

 

[Magtheridon96]

Mac OS X on one of my dev machines and Windows 7 on my gaming and dev PC.

I tried Ubuntu once. Just once.

 

[SA Dashie]

Ain't nobody got money for dat (w8)

I think it cost something like $40. XD

 

[Cihparg]

SteamOS.

 

[BandolXD]

I'm using XP .

 

[Mgeterno11]

I used to have XP but since last year I use Windows 7 which is much better and faster.
