Well yeah, I’m kind of a computer geek and a Pixar nut so I was just curious to see what you guys use. I’m so much of a Pixar fan and a computer geek that I use Mac OS X. :laughing:

So what do you use on your computer?

#2

I use Mac OS X, and I absolutely love it <3

#3

I have a dual boot of Windows XP and Ubuntu (Linux).

#4

I’ve got Windows Vista. And I’m okay with that.

#5

I’ve got Windows XP. I’ve tried Mac at my Mom’s house, and it’s really cool. :slight_smile:

#6

I’m running windows 7, thought about buying a mac but at the time there was no 64bit version of maya for mac. Pretty happy with my set up at the moment though

#7

XP. I had Linux on my web-server but that PC died and the new one is running XP.

#8

Win 7…lovin it…fast and it looks good. Can’t complain yet…

#9

I’m use Windows XP and Windows 98.

#10

Windows Vista.

And believe me, it’s not as bad as everyone says…

#11

…

#12

Windows Vista. I’ve been a Windows user for quite a while.

#13

Windows Server 2008.

#14

I have Windows XP on my laptop. I really want a Mac though.

#15

Well, to break it to you all…
I don’t run on any of the operators you use! I run on Nintendo DSi Brower- yes, I use the internet on a DSi. Although it’s different, it limits me;
-I can’t watch videos as it doesn’t support Adobe Flashplayer
-The system memory is tiny so it can’t display many (big) pictures
-Everything just seems so slow to load
-I can’t upload or download anything either, which explains why I don’t have an avatar or sig

So I feel as if I’m missing out on a lot of things :frowning:
I could’ve used my laptop (which runs on Windows XP) but it went bust and I’m not allowed on my parent’s one. Oh, and I’d love a Mac, they look so cool. But my parents nor me can afford one. :cry:

#16

PCs forever. :sunglasses: I don’t care what people say, I’m a Windows girl myself.

#17

Just installed Windows 7

#18

Wow, I’m sorry to hear that so many of you guys are running Vista! :frowning:

I beta tested both Microsoft Windows Vista and 7, and I have to say that 7 is a HUGE improvement. Vista and Outlook are almost the same: buggy and bloated.

I am still using Mac as my main desktop, but I’m working on winworldblog.com where I’m going to have a personal blog and a blog about Windows. I’m also running Ubuntu on my Home Theater PC and Windows in quite a few VMs (everything from 98 to XP).

#19

Why not use Mint or MythTV?

#20

Because if I’m not using it as a home theater PC at the moment I can always compile the latest version of favorite FOSS project here without much trouble and not many add-ons.
