Hi,

My primary OS is Linux (Ubuntu 8.04) running in a desktop PC.
Secondary is Windows (XP) that came preinstalled in my laptop.

However, I've tested others too viz Vista, Kubuntu (7.10), Edubuntu (7.10), Redhat, OpenSuse(10 & 11), Mandriva and Debian (Etch).

~~ Pothi ~~

Hi GuruSam,

Voted now. And edited my post too, to include other distributions that I've tested and worked with.

I use Windows Xp. I have used Ubuntu and Freespire. But nothing beat Windows Xp. Almost every third party tools support Windows Xp.
BTW. You didn't mention Freespire or Linspire.

Why this pointless poll? I can tell you the general percentage right now:

a) About 60% people use XP/Pro or XP/Home
b) About 20% people use Vista (various flavours)
c) About 7% people use Linux versions like Ubuntu.
d) About 10% people use Mac-OS
e) The rest are all others. Solaris, AIX, IRIX, etc. are server specific only.

I'm currently using xp for my deskptop... cuz most games run on it... & have dual boot XP & Vista on my lappy(use Vista most times)... I havnt faced any driver compatibility issue with Vista either in my laptop or dektop... but yes... many games or 3rd party s/w r still not for Vista... But Vista knows better how to efficiently use a multi-core processor...

Wud love to try Ubuntu...

The choice is yours of course. But what is the big deal in not voting? It required just 2 clicks. Or are you talking about this poll only?

Why waste time in typing that message ^

Also you need to take down two of those signature links ^^^ Only two are allowed as per Just4kix's announcement...
I would have done that for you but I didint know which ones you would like to keep and which ones you would want to remove so best if you do it yourself

Thanks
