junkieXL Posted July 21, 2008 CID Share Posted July 21, 2008 Seems like everyone (myself included) has kicked Vista under the bus, i'm curious of what your current OS (or OS's) of choice are; running MSServer 2003 R2 Enterprise here, how about you? -JxL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted July 21, 2008 CID Share Posted July 21, 2008 XP on one and Vista on the other. They are both nice. I understand the XP better but the Vista is cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted July 21, 2008 CID Share Posted July 21, 2008 OS X all the way for me. I have XP installed in parallels on my macbook for a program I use in the field, and my Vista dell desktop I use for 3D max at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coknuck Posted July 21, 2008 CID Share Posted July 21, 2008 XP on the Desktop and Vista on the Laptop! Vista is different but I'm getting used to it and its not that bad so far. Just another learning experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MttFrog13 Posted July 21, 2008 CID Share Posted July 21, 2008 vista....i honestly don't see anything wrong with it. That said, i don't have any special computer needs that some users might need and keep them off of vista. I tried ubuntu linux but it seems that it offers more control that i bargained for so i stay away from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xshirox Posted July 23, 2008 CID Share Posted July 23, 2008 mine's XP Pro on desktop & laptop. I like Vista also, after i add another 1gig of RAM on my desktop, that should help a bit. Notice: Someone managed to trim down Windows Vista to run on Pentium III pc's with 256mb RAM. I don't know it's true or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sin0cide Posted July 23, 2008 CID Share Posted July 23, 2008 Well I Run Professional and have Virtual PC so I get the pleasure of installing whatever I want so my money is on Ubuntu and possible OS X Leopard when I finally figure out how to run it on my IBM machine since its suppose to be designed for x86 processors. As for Vista I hope this Millennium(Vista) Phase goes quickly.... 98(tank) 98se(good) ME(tank) XP(good) Vista(tank) Windows 7 Code Name: Blackcomb?????? hopefully good I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitrium Posted July 23, 2008 CID Share Posted July 23, 2008 I've got Vista and Ubuntu 8.04 on my 6 month old Inspiron 1720. I installed Ubuntu one day mainly because I was bored. Took a little while to get it fully up and running but I'd say it runs faster than Vista. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
