Please pick one. The version doesn't matter. This is related to Mal Updater, as I've been wondering whether a Mac native version is worth wasting the time with (making)

If you use more than one, pick the one you use for watching Anime

Fairly sure this has been done before. >.> Also you should probably add in different versions. At least the key ones (Win 9x, XP/2k, Vista, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Pre-OSX, OSX 1-1.5 (whatever they're up to now) and what about poor old OS/2 and Solaris, BSD etc?! I demand more broad polls than just three generic options and 'other'. :(

I'm just interested in knowing how many users use either of those 3 (version doesn't matter). Maybe more than that.. I'm curious about the amount of Linux/Mac (related to MALU)

ult windows vista / xp pro now. back when i used to game / record music it was only xp pro.

people really dont know what theyre complaining about with vista, other than for gaming. its highly trashed on for all the stupidest reasons. sure it has its quirks but in reality its fine.

Windows XP 64-bit

Vista failed on me, even with SP1 (7GB for a servicepack that's fucking ludicrous).

Also, i like to tweak and modify XP. I could call it my own version now :3. I'm planning to make an unattended disc of my entire system, that'll be so handy whenever i need to reinstall.

I use Windows mainly, but occasionally use Linux.

I think you should develop a Unix version regardless of the poll results. Programming for multiple OS's is a nice skill to have. By porting the updater to Unix you'll be able to brush up your skills.

As long as you have the time, I say go for it.

Why isn't there a "More than one" option?? Lol!

I'm a Linux Mint and Windows Vista user anyways. Windows for my multimedia stuff and things that don't work on Linux. And Linux for working when I feel like tinkering with it.

Hands down:

Windows XP is still better than Vista and Windows is just more of use to the average user than Mac OS and Linux. It's the amount of available software that makes the difference.

And of course there is an abundance of windows, the poll probably properly reflects OS usage given the number of votes. There's an other option (perhaps added, too lazy to read through the thread), so I think it is decent considering the purpose of the thread. Whether the thread was necessary, however, considering that xinil probably already has access to this information in much wider numbers... well, perhaps I can see the use in this as well...

Ignore the above block of rambling. If you just read it... well... you wasted your time even more than you normally would reading one of my posts.

Edit, in response to the post below: Ah, I see xD
