Just curious - I'm not looking to start a flame war or anything, lol.


Personally, I use Linux (Ubuntu).

And these threads start off so innocently. Let's keep this civil or else!

All of the above, but Windows as primary right now. They are all wonderful and they all suck.
Try Linux Mint.

True enough. Really, the only thing I don't like with Linux is software compatibility. Though the repositories do have free programs that are generally as good as the more common versions. Usually...

And games. Not many of them for Linux.

Both. Though I lean towards the OSX most of the time.

Mac at home....Windows at work...

Would rather use BeOS or NeXT OS really....both worked flawless and still do...I have them on old 486 laptops...and they still run circles around all others...

But I have to conform...due to no software support...!!!

I use Windows and Linux. Mostly on Windows recently, since I've been gaming a bit more often now.

Mac and Windows at the house and windows at work. All my digital art software is mac based but I still use windows for my drafting and CAD work. At work we use windows as all my geology and mapping software is windows based.

You needed a selection for 'Both Win/Mac'...I have five machines at home, alone...two Macs and 3 Win XP boxes...four if you count the Mac that runs Windows... :) I use both OSes about equally...
