I use Windows 7. This thread might work better as a poll, though.

I use Windows 7, in my opinion its the best OS. I run dual 22” monitors and the setup within the OS is fantastic.

I have WIndows 7 as a virtual machine and I do like it. It's a million times better than Vista.

I have Windows 7. I'm not picky, but I really do like it. But that's also compared to the old, slow computer we used to have.

Windows 7, but I love OS X.

Boyfriend uses Linux for certain work but then switches back to Windows 7. He doesn't like OS X.

that's just another reason I love you...

I have Vista, I like it more than 7.

*Troll face*

Honestly though, I do like it more than 7, not much more... just a bit more. Anyhow I find Vista plays more older PC games.

Can you upgrade straight from XP to 7? I know you couldn't upgrade straight from Leopard to Lion OS X.

Not strictly true. You have to backup first, then wipe, install and restore.

I was on my old laptop earlier and Windows is starting to annoy me too. It's too much of a liability. There's so much malware for Windows I know Macs aren't completely immune to malware but they're MUCH safer. Everything's all over the effing place with Windows :/ Everything feels neater and easier on a Mac imo.

I also prefer the GUI in Mac OS X.

This. I find it almost impossible to use Windows now.


"Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it.
I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote,
“Dear Jim: I loved your card.”
Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.”
That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything.
He saw it, he loved it, he ate it."

I've considered installing Linux on VM Ware Fusion. I just don't know if I see the point :/ Not an awful lot of applications are compatible.

Re: What Operating System do you use? - October 12th 2011, 11:14 PM

I dual-booted my Mac. I'm running OS X Lion on the Mac partition and Windows 7 on the boot camp side.
I love Lion...and I only really use Windows 7 for games and PC only software for classes. Windows 7 has given me too many issues (I have gotten the blue screen of death due to Windows Updates)...so Lion all the way!

My boyfriend has Vista on his laptop and he has 7 and XP on 2 desktops. He loves 7 the most but is always a fan of XP. He's slowly starting to like Lion, but he still is a Windows fan.


Leave the past behind, just walk away
When it's over, and the heart break
And the cracks begin to show

On my desktop I have Windows XP. My laptop has Windows 7.

I like them both equally.

I'm the kind of guy who likes to hold on to what he has for stupidly long periods of time. I can picture myself as an old man refusing to use any new piece of technology because "what I have works fine."
