<< Which OS do you mainly/moslty use for your everday needs..(web browsing, watching movies, listening to music, word processing..etc) at home? >>



OpenBSD for everything I need the computer for. Music and movies are handled by appliances of the appropriate types (although I do enjoy an mp3 on occassion). Word processing can easily be handled by vi. :D

<< It's kind of hard to use anything except winblows (98SE for me) if you want to have compatibility with popular games and programs... >>



Yeah but it is easy to not use winDOWS if you want to get work done.

I use Windows 2000 and Windows ME

soon I will have my first Linux machine setup. Probably going to use Mandrake 7.2, unless I find the time to pickup 8.0.

I would download it but at 56k it would take days :(

&quot;Witch OS&quot;??? :)

I use Windows 2000 and Windows 2000 only. :) Had Windows XP for a while, but probably won't load it again until the gold release is out.
