I am running under Windows 7, mainly because it came prepackaged with my PC. It is the most popular OS anyways. I am going to look into learning about Linux though.

Exactly.
I gave Windows another chance after my HP laptop crashed and I lost everything.
I mean... it really felt like I lost everything.
Every picture I'd ever taken with a digital camera.
That sort of thing.
But.. best lessons come from experience.
I don't expect to experience that anytime again soon.
With both a powerful Mac and an external hard drive backing everything up with time machine..
It'd take a house fire or a pissed off enemy, lol.
Security feels good.

I use Vista on my main laptop and I have Windows 7 Starter on my netbook. I'm too poor to upgrade either >.<

Bought Windows 7 after a virus pwn'd my HD containing Vista (Didn't have the Disk since it came preloaded with the computer). So far, it works pretty good.

I use Windows 7 ^^
Waaaaay better than the Windows XP I used before~

Windows 7 64bit, I love it~

I use Windows 7 64bit. It came with the computer so meh, I don't wanna change it. I don't like some things but it's pretty alright. I do miss Windows XP though xD

Windows 7, it's alright, but I'd much rather be on a Mac OS X computer

I really only have two complaints about Win7 64-bit.

(1) Driver support is still a bit spotty because it costs a lot of money for hardware manufacturers to get a driver signed.

(2) It's still Windows, which means it still has all of the little annoying Windows things about it.

Amen Coda. That is why I wish i had Mac OS X it's 64 bit AND backwards compatible completely with 32 bit... x.x

Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10

I use XP. And just love it. <3
Am curious on Windows7 though. But not sure if my computer can handle the upgrade. ;.;

Mac OSX because

- Windows Vista enjoyed the blue screen of death more than it liked working
- Windows 7 never enjoyed working properly and crashed my computer repeatedly and then broke and would no longer boot
- Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Mint/Red Hat/any other version of linux I've tried using isn't user friendly nor meant to be because it's meant for people that are essentially programmers
- Mac OSX works

[Cyanide Lollipop]

o_o I think you have worse luck with computers than I do, Poot. That sucks. DX I'm glad you found an OS that works for you, though.

Well i've been using Windows and Mac computers for... 13 years or so and my dad even longer, and as a whole. The mac community is just way more solid. Less virus, bugs, etc. <3

Linux isn't "meant for programmers" specifically but it's true we do tend to be more comfortable there. There's a lot of Linux distributions designed for the Windows switcher that most users should just be able to jump in and use as long as you don't find yourself dealing with stupid hardware problems because of vendors that refuse to publish working drivers.
