I have dual boot between Windows XP and Fedora Core. I also like Suse.

I've tried Windows Vista and its one of the worst OS's I've used, it reminds me of Windows ME.

I wonder what windows 7 (Codename: Blackcomb and later Vienna) will be like?

Windows XP 64-bit previously and later switch to 32-bit. I have Windows Vista and OS X 10.5 dual boot on a Mac Pro.

Windows Vista isnt that bad but some of the features annoys me and the WGA pissed me off.

Oh no not another Operating system battle topic, anyway, on my laptop I have a XP/Unbuntu laptop and on the destop I have just have vista. Although that was going to be my ubuntu dual boot, but after some accidents and installations I moved it to my laptop instead.

Using these two in Dual Booting mode.

Also I am using Damn Small Linux and Some other linux OSs in VM Ware.

Not a battle topic, i sense. Unless someone start to create a war then that is a different story. So far it starts peacefully and hopefully no one break the truce.

lol Yeah, Lets hope it stays that way. I understand people have their diffrences when it comes to OS's, but we hear enough of it. I just wanted to see how many use the diffrent windows/linux comninations.

I use Gentoo with KDE 4.1. I don't dual boot, especially since i want this to be a Windows free environment, and everything i need all works on this operating system. I customized almost every aspect of my Linux set-up: from the kernel, to the framebuffer, etc. I learned a lot with this distribution.

I like to be different.

My main operating system would be Windows Mobile 5, and I'm thinking of upgrading to WM6 at some time. Yeah, I'm an embedded systems type of guy. On the desktop I run a WinPE system, based on Windows XP Professional. What is WinPE? Have a look at my other thread for a good explanation. I own licenses and CALs for a variety of Micrsosoft client and server operating systems, but my OS of choice, other than WM5, would be Windows 2000 Professional. Or, at least, a Windows XP Professional installation stripped down to look and feel like Windows 2000 Professional. I don't need all the fancy whizz-bang eye-candy that comes with XP, and I am not touching Vista for a few more months yet. I don't like to be on the "bleeding edge" and never have done. Give me a Windows 2000 Pro client, (preferably with a Windows 2003 Server CAL and a beefy server box to connect to), along with a copy of Microsoft ActiveSync and my trusty Windows Mobile 5 based hardware any day and I'll be happy.

Sure, I'll probably make the step up to Vista one day, but I'm not rushing out to buy the latest gear to support it just yet.

My taste buds gets sore whenever I install an OS. Just this or that driver will not load or crash, or there is a security issue. There are also problems of multiple boot as I had lost multiple installations. Now I have three hard disks.
1 160 GB Seagate baracuda a) XP Pro SP3 b)Vista Ultimate c) Backup d) backup
2 40 GB Samsung a) Redhat
3 8 GB Samsung a) XP Pro SP2 (Standby Recovery Disk)

I USE WINDOWS 98~!! nah...... I use Windows XP~!! =) It is better and faster than buggy Vista......Can't wait til Windows 7 comes out

It'd probably be even worse than Vista... Those Micro$oft guys never learn.

I use WinXp SP3 for gaming/study and the likes, however for programming and trying out stuff I use Gentoo Linux with VirtualBox onboard. Though, I still prefer Wine over VBox...
Yes, I know that Gentoo is for developers only, or for servers, so that they have better security. But systems bundled (is this the right word? plz correct me) with Gnome, KDE or xfce pull in a LOT of dependencies that cannot be solved by unchecking the needed components. OpenSuSE is prob the best one in this sense (I used SuSE 10.something, not the Open one yet), as the YaST manager checks for dependencies before the install.

Hell... that was a relatively short post.
Hi all!))
