What OS do you use?

its true no ones does write viruses for mac or linux because not many people do use those computers,i myself like macs

Okay, fess up. Who deleted my post?

Windows XP here.

I wish i was using Win 95... It was the best version of windows.

If you're going to use a pre-XP version I'd suggest go for Windows 2000 definately. or at least 98SE. 2000 Is miles better as for stability thanks to them switching to the NT kernel.

95 is definitely NOT the best version in terms of features and freedoms, but if that's your preference then so be it. It's definitely simpler than XP, I'll give you that.

XP is complex you say?

No, I said 95 was simpler.

HMMINTERESTING!

And I am fairly adept with either, and have difficulty telling the differece. Would you mind elaborating?

Yes.

Hmph.

Micro$hit Windoze XP with a Windoze CeMeNT boot screen.

my vista has had no virus or error at all. Playing elder scrolls, using the net, using object dock, nothing.

Am I supposed to be surprised that your computer is doing what you're telling it to do

no ive juast not had any problems with vista. thats kinda what i said.

I'm not making the jump to Vista just yet. My computer can barely handle XP, and with a dialup connection I'm hardly in any danger of getting hacked or something.

Where can I learn more of this...Vista?

Probably wikipedia.

I imagine lots of computer users who know what they're doing are going to stay on XP. Windows Vista has DRM built in from the ground up and they're trying to move away from the GDI method of drawing the screen (so basically any program that skins itself won't work on vista until it's updated for it).

Aero requires a hell of alot more CPU and RAM than say Windowblinds 5 / WindowFX emulating it.

Maybe once people start to release patches etc I'll try it out.

My computers pretty good i think. I also have good Directx (not that it matters) cos I bought a game, installed the dx and took it back. I dont like pc games that much.

I use XP Pro SP2

I couldnt get SP2. A virus deleted a nessary(??) windows module.

Demon X uses Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition with a lovely Vista theme, plus Glass2k. My XP does everything Vista does now, so I will not be purchasing it. Eat that, Microsoft!

oooo ouch! media center! heard some bad stories of that.

Not everything is true...

MCE is great, although I admit I spend too much time developing to give a damn...

lol media center edition.

Also, um, it might do everything apart from the most important thing; work with DirectX 10?

to anyone who will buy vista
