Dag, yo. 8%? I'm hurt.


I don't think one is better than the other, it all depends on what you need it for. I'm an artist; I have a Mac.

but I was still under the impression that we had more mac users D:

Eh, Windows is only worth it for games in my opinion. And I have more... important things to do on the computer. Work, graphic design, music editing, photo uploads, etc. I find Mac's performance much better, and the portability and high quality of my Macbook is perfect since I have to do these things on the go constantly.

I have no beef with Linux. They've got it going on, but it's not my thing.

Alas, let's not make this thread an OS war.

Windows XP

I keep hearing the newest Linux is going to rock, though. I might change when Snow Leopard comes out.

Vista. T_T

I don't feel like installing Linux on my laptop since everything runs smoothly and fast right now. Not to mention it looks pretty. :P

I had Linux/XP Pro on my desktop... which sadly has a fried motherboard, and replacing it will cost me like $50 for some POS from ebay since newegg no longer sells socket 939 mobos (seriously not worth it).

And it shouldn't come as any surprise that Windows is the most common since most people are too lazy to try to learn to use Linux... which really is easy to use and quite flexible once you get everything down.

Felli disapproves of this thread.

Problem still remains for me!

I use both Linux and Vista! And I watch anime on both of them! :s

So I think Linux gets my vote.

I use Debian GNU/Linux on my laptop and Gentoo on my desktop. I watch anime on both.

I technically own a MacBook that my cousin gave me to get rid of it but I don't use it very often and have never watched anime on it.

I think I have watched an episode of anime on XP, but if I did that was on an emulator inside of GNU/Linux.

I'd like to watch anime completely on Linux but my computer is not fast enough (& the codecs are not that optimized), so I can't play 720p smoothly :'(
And sometimes I watch anime while playing Guild Wars or whatever, then I have also to use Windows (again a performance problem since Wine supports GW)
Let's hope my new pc components arrive soon and I'll be able to use more Linux (it's a lot more comfortable!)

I also use Debian GNU/Linux (testing) on my "work" laptop (1 Ghz Pentium III) and Sidux on my "play" desktop (Athlon 64 2.4 Ghz). I built the desktop just so I can play HD .h264 files. :P

As for Macs, I fix and refurbish them to pay the bills :)

although I would like to change my windowns to linux... but I don't think it will work with my computer... and I have no idea how linux is... so I'll just stay with my XP, hopfully, forever. because vista is like... blah.
and when I will have a new computer, I think I'll put XP there too. at least untill windowns will move on and make something better then vista.
