OS Poll.

[BaiginLong]

Well since this all started from an attempted penguin shooting... :rolleyes:
Let's just see what the general opinion is on operating systems these days.

[Craig]

There was already a poll on this ...

er... people still use OS/2? :lol:

[BaiginLong]

yeah but this one is a bit more inclusive
unlike the Some Inferior OS option on the other poll

[BaiginLong]

mainly the goverment and some big businesses if they use OS/2 at all

[SunWuKong]

yeah legacy systems. IBM sold them on OS/2 and then Windows came out shortly after that. this was when Microsoft completed their overshadow of IBM. now those companies and gov agencies are stuck with OS/2 unless they spend lots of money switching to Windows. poor bastards.

[BaiginLong]

and what would be wrong with Macs hmmmm?????

[Craig]

Feel free to ask your classmates for their opinion :D

[BaiginLong]

heh it has it's good points my friend
no OS is completely bad
Macs are great with media and I work with that a lot
otherwise the may not be as versatile or as powerful in other area but they get the job done

believe it or not, alot of CS majors like Macs. especially now because OSX is actually running unix underneath. and while i haven't done any MacOS programming (well i've seen a friend do it), i've heard that it's really cool.

[BaiginLong]

sadly I forgot to put Solaris down as one of the choices until too late
anyways
for those of you who use BeOS and the BSD family I'd like to ask you about your experience with such systems
and from the other poll, I noticed one Solaris user so I hope you'd give some feedback as well on your OS

[blue__blood]

I'm the one who voted BeOS, I like it cause the interface is a lot more slick and clean, and plus I'm a minimalist. It also had great multimedia performance and a journaling file system...

[Fireblade]

I like Macs. Graphics Galore. OOOH.

[Craig]

I was the one that choose FreeBSD. I mainly picked it because of superior OS performance and stability. Plus, you can run almost everything you can run in Linux on FreeBSD. Applications are another issue, but that's not the OS.

Edit: Forgot to mention price as an issue also.

Macs all the way. I'm hardcore X user. Will be getting the compact 12" Powerbook G4. Whoo whoo! It's great for graphics stuff.

[Azn Retribution]

Im a l33t *nix user.

Lin000chs is for n00bs

Solaris, *BSD, OSX, BeOS forever and ever.

I use a different operating system then windows

I'm a huge mac fan too. I just got the 14 inch ibook and I love it. The OSX is fantastic, the interface on this thing is so sweet!

[himura-dono]

i like apple's hardware like the cinema screens, and their lappys look nice.

BUT i have long ago swore off any kind of mac and mac os. their dvd-r discs are also the best quality and have no degradation like those cheapy ones do.

macs suck, but apple has SOME products *cough*ipod*cough*24"applecinemadisplay*cough* that i'd like.
