What OS do YOU use? - Page 2 - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

cardine · 07-05-2009, 12:53 AM

I use Vista, and have never had any problems on any Windows product (Vista or XP). Never had the blue screen of death. Never had a massive hard drive failure. Never had any of the crap that people always complain about.

In fact the security is a little annoying. I went to use brutus to crack into somebodies server and I had to turn off the firewall because it kept on auto-deleting brutus whenever I tried to run it.

Besides that I use CentOS for servers.

Is that better?

Yes, it's a black man with no arms and legs in a sock. I don't know wtf he's doing though. I haven't seen that movie in like 10 years and just remember him rolling all over the place.

Same here, minus pre-ordering Snow Leopard. Considering it though

I have Windows XP on my desktop, Ubuntu on my laptop and Debian on my server.

zacdavis · 07-05-2009, 09:05 PM

I'm using Windows 7 on my desktop, and Fedora on my laptop right now, but am looking at Sabayon for the laptop.

AMagz · 07-05-2009, 09:11 PM

Windows XP

tvmatt · 07-05-2009, 09:13 PM

I really haven't touched my Windows XP desktop since I got a Macbook last year - I find I can do things faster for the most part on Mac OS. However, I just got a Mac Pro a few weeks ago & I'll be running Mac OS, Windows 7 in a virtual machine (seems like a pretty good OS so far), and CentOS 5 (free branch of RedHat Enterprise) Linux in yet another virtual machine for some development work, though I usually just use shell access on that.

Getting a second monitor, too, so I can always have Mac OS on one monitor and Windows on the other. MS Office is much better on Windows, but I love Terminal and the shell environment on Mac OS.

you think so? I don't really agree, the interface on Windows is much more cluttered to me and unintuitive, at least in office 2007 windows vs 2008 mac. I need to give iWork a shot again. For my technical and scientific writing I use LaTeX, nothing even comes close in comparison to the power of LaTeX.

pickledegg · 07-07-2009, 10:51 AM

I personally use Leopard, but I think the real question should be, who uses their OS productively to make money? I'd rather be making 1k a day and be using win98, than be rocking on OSX and skint. :P

Enough posting on WF!! Work to do....

puroz · 07-07-2009, 12:05 PM

Mostly Ubuntu. A little bit of XP for gaming. And Windows 7 for some testing.

Ubuntu server with unnecessary kernel modules unloaded is pretty light. I ran it on my 64mb vps for a while. Made a good proxy and DNS server and a terrible anything else.

S-dog · 07-07-2009, 02:02 PM

Windows 7. Much speedier than Vista.

noman · 07-21-2009, 02:01 AM

win7 for workstation
mythbuntu for media server at home
centos 5.3 for production servers

Mike Panic · 07-22-2009, 01:02 PM

osx. I am primarly a photographer, so *nix isn't an option, I need Lightroom, PS, etc. although I am a network admin for a living, primarly windows environment, XP desktops, server 2000 and server 2008 servers, NAS devices and a few Ubuntu desktops in the mix.

CPAPIMP · 07-22-2009, 02:25 PM

was 100% XP until this year, and now have moved almost completely to OS/X. System just runs smoother and can get things done faster, IMHO.

roclafamilia · 07-22-2009, 03:58 PM

Leopard / Snow Leopard
Windows 7

Which one is better? It's all personal opinion...I personally prefer Leopard but Windows 7 is very nice...

PhilPaul · 07-22-2009, 05:05 PM

Does it do everything xp does and does it bog down resources like windows shitsta

Before you buy a mac download a VMWare image of OSX from thepiratebay or whatever so you can get a taste of it.

Fucker. You took advantage of my 2-distro-a-day habit.

windows 7 is everything vista wasn't, and just as secure as xp.

I use osx on my thinkpad. home server ubuntu, desktop win7, htpc windows 7 (might try osx)
