I have listed every OS I could think of. If you use an OS that I haven't listed, post it and I will add it ASAP.

And for those of you who use NT, you might also be interested in the NT/2K/XP poll I made.

<< Win NT is taking this one over... :p >>


That's cuz only a geek would care enough to vote in an OS poll, and most geeks use NT. :)

('cept for me, I use '98)

Added OS/2 and CPM.

Oh, Infos and Jittles, the reason why I put NT4, 2K, and XP together is that they are all the same OS. Seperating 3.x, 4.0, 5.0, and 5.1 would be like listing every version of ever Linux distro. It ain't gonna happen. :)

I will make another poll later, just for NT flavors.

I ran 2k for a year with no problems, upgraded to XP a few weeks ago and it's running smoothly also. Both are good operating systems.

for the 2nd option in the poll, i thought those OS are called Windows 9x, not 4x.

Well, the actual version is 4.x. I could have used 9x, but I though "Windows 4.x" looked more like it was supposed to be there, right after 1.x/2.x/3.x. :)

LOL.

I use 2k, Slackware, Red Hat, and OSX depending on what work I am doing at the time.

98se for me. all my software runs on 98 and i haven't bothered with a new OS. I'll probably be using 98 for another year.

Windows XP. But I just built a new computer (with old components) to learn a little Linux. I have Mandrake 8.1 on that right now.

FreeBSD 4.3 on my server
Windows XP Pro on my desktop (upgraded just yesterday from 2000 Pro)
DOS/Windows 3.1 on my programming machine (assembly and C++ programming)
Windows 2000 Pro SP2 (very soon to become XP) on my dad's machine

Also, since this is a "definitive" O/S poll, I think it belongs in the "Operating Systems" category. :)
