Posted August 24, 200618 yr I limited the question to "home" systems because many of us Mac users are FORCED to use Windows at work. So let the voting begin.
August 24, 200618 yr I use windows, but I downloaded a patch that makes everything on my PC appear as a Mac! Its a pretty cool feature. I must use windows for the programs that I operate, and I got this patch before the new thing came out for Macs to have a windows function that runs windows software. Not to mention I don't have squat for money...except for bills :cry:
August 24, 200618 yr I'm sorry...just noticed this. But isn't it contradicting to say: Mac OS X (any version) :| It would be like saying Windows XP (any version)....right?
August 24, 200618 yr MS-DOS. Oregon Trail up in this B$%@ No but seriously windows for its universality and soon to be Linux-Windows dual boot for the free (and better) software and eliminated bull**** that you get with Windows. I'm gonna hold off on getting a new computer for a bit since Windows Vista is going to be pretty demanding on older components and i'd prefer to have it pre-loaded.
August 24, 200618 yr I'm sorry...just noticed this. But isn't it contradicting to say: Mac OS X (any version) :| It would be like saying Windows XP (any version)....right? Actually no... OS X stands for "Operating System 10" but Apple updates the operating system more often then Microsoft. Each .x release is a new version. It is different from service packs that Windows puts out. For example we are currently on OS X Tiger 10.4.7. It is broken down like this: 10.0 - Cheetah 10.1 - Puma 10.2 - Jaguar 10.3 - Panther 10.4 - Tiger 10.5 - Leopard (Due out Spring of 2007)
August 25, 200618 yr I hope to God he knew that lol. Word on the streets is that they're making a Bearcat edition to pay homage to the most awesome school in the world.
August 25, 200618 yr Windows XP Pro, on Athlon 64 3400+. I tried Windows XP 64 and it ran all my existing software just fine, but there are no 64-bit drivers available for my scanners so I had to drop back to the 32-bit version. XP64 is still installed; I set up dual boot so I'll still have it available when the scanner drivers come out.
August 25, 200618 yr But What if you use more than one OS at home ? eek You're gonna ban me from your polls :-) Apple changed their numbering system when they moved to unix I guess to milk the "X" factor. If they kept up with the old numbering system they would be on 14 now.
August 25, 200618 yr Yeah that was before my Mac days. I couldn't tell you what my Apple IIE had loaded on it when I was a kid. That beast didn't even have a hard drive and it used to eat my five & a quarters.
August 28, 200618 yr I'm using windows xp x64 right now. It took a few days to get it running with drivers for my wireless network card(Belkin 7050). I'm starting to see the power of 64 bit now. ;)
