What Operating System are you using and which would you LIKE to use?

Mac OS X 10.3.9

Would like to be using Mac OS X 10.4 :-)

I use Windows, but I would like to use the Amiga one. Kickstart / Workbench 3.9 at least.

I have windows XP pro, mainly because I am lazy and most of the good games are made for windows machines, as opposed to Mac or Linix

If I had enough money, I could have 2 machines, a windows machine for games and a linix machine for the Web, Mac is still too expensive for me

Using XP Pro.

Would like to use an OS without major flaws and thus an OS that will never exist.

Will probably end up using....Google OS! [GoogOS, Googix, WinGoog?]

Using Windows XP Home, here.

I perfer XP pro, the only thing that brings down XP is the horrendous Internet unExplorer.

I like Linux also, it just needs a lot more user training than XP.

Macs I never liked, even after I was given a G5 to play with for 3 months.

Linux all the way :D

There's a simple alternative --- Firefox!

I use a PC at work that runs Windows NT. I have a Mac at home (iBook) running OS 10.3.9 I believe. I prefer my Mac.

Oh, I love firefox. If Firefox were a woman I would dress in a gimp suit just to get a date.

Hah. Ever since some fool deleted the shortcut to Internet Explorer from my start menu and the desktop, I've used Firefox. Can happily say that I WON'T be going back...

There's an easy fix to bringing back IE, but I'm not going to tell you because I despise IE lol.

So I'll let you stay with Firefox, it does good things, like tuck you in at night and scare away the boogie man.

people who answer "i'm using windows but i prefer linux" are either lazy or pretentious, or both (like me).

OSX is BSD.

BSD is the free unix implementation that says "linux is for bitches".

So in a way, OSX is more linux than linux.

I use a PowerBook G4 with operating system 10.3.5, and I like 10.3.5 because it gives me a 1.5 GHz processor, 2 GB of RAM, and 77 GB of hard disk space, which allows me to post on Jolt a whole lot faster. (As well as a whole lot of other things.)

BSD is not an option :( LOL so I chose *nix ... I prefer the BSD derivitives (I use FreeBSD) but Slackware 10.1 is cool ... was easy as hell to bring up at least.

Dont get me wrong Windows is not a bad os but eh Im a geek (still keep it around for gaming though)

I'm currently using Windows, but I have a Linux box that I might be using if it weren't for the fact that I haven't quite finished building it yet.

I'm vaguely interested in the latest Mac OS, but I don't know anybody with a Mac and I certainly can't just go out and buy one, so my curiosity is on hold right now.

Well OSX is more UNIX then LINUX might be a correct statement
LINUX is its own beast long derived from UNIX where BSD has stayed pretty close to its UnixV3 Roots

Ahhh I dislike the darwin core
