Here is a link to the old one. Link

Replies chilly person Posted at 4:00 pm on Oct. 20, 2009 windows XP. Im getting a Mac and installing windows 7 on it if I can. so B) Macropiper Posted at 2:08 am on Aug. 29, 2009 I mainly use Fedora Linux, am currently using Fedora 10, will probably wait for Fedora 12 before upgrading. I also use Windows XP for my gaming box. Rhapsody Posted at 9:34 am on Aug. 28, 2009 I use Windows 7 mainly. I have used a few Linux distributions in the recent past but I haven't use them for every day use, may be sometime in the future. scathe710 Posted at 4:34 pm on Aug. 19, 2009 Leopard baby, hope snow leopard when its released. if its a big enough improvement i will buy it. loveboy 18 Posted at 3:56 am on Aug. 16, 2009 of course xp lyfsux420 Posted at 2:01 pm on Aug. 9, 2009 I have an XP machine (which I never use anymore), and a mac running OS X Tiger, and then the family computers are both running Leopard.

Regardless, I still think that splitting up tons of options for new iterations of the same system is silly when compared with the much more varied linux distros :P allsmiles Posted at 10:41 am on May 3, 2009 Arguably, 6 of those options could be collapsed into one catch-all Unix option. bighead1991 Posted at 4:28 am on May 3, 2009 I was going off figures on http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_os.asp ; I generally use that, I see it to be most accurate. Windows 7 is not even out to public use yet, so can not compete in this poll. You have also given Snow Leopard in the poll of options. Windows has a market share of above 90%, yet you put MacOSX with more options than Windows?   Just because a poll has 10 options you don't have to fill it with useless crap. pleaseremove Posted at 1:39 am on May 3, 2009 Quote: from StTenSk8er at 3:40 am on May 3, 2009 Quote: from pleaseremove at 7:42 pm on May 2, 2009 Yeah, I'm with Sam on this, you made a bit of a mess of it. Windows XP still holds the biggest market share, it should not be in a catch all group.    OS 10.4 or 140.5 and OSX Snow leopard would have done. I got asked by a mod if I updated it to separate 10.4 and 10.5 so you can pound salt. Ah yes, a mod, that means it was instantly right...

Then more options for Linux too.  More people OSX than Linux     But Linux is better. You can argue that all day but the percent of people that use linux is to small to matter.   Not really, I'm fairly sure Linux not too long ago passed Mac OSX. So, to argue that variations on basically the same operating system which doesn't even have the larger market share deserves more attention than the much more varied Linux distros is.. well, ridiculous.   Anyway, I use Ubuntu on both my computers currently, largely for convenience sake. I formerly had Arch Linux, which I prefer for its sheer customizability, but currently I don't have a lot of time to play with my computer configurations so Ubuntu is easily managed. To all of you arguing this here you go Stats Also  Here Windows 87.9 Mac 9.73 Linux 1.02 So as I said before pound salt.
