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...
