Wow, Linux and MacOS X could at least have had their own categories if Win95 got one.

I use telekinesis to interface my mind directly to my computer's CPU.

But were I ever deprived of my amazing mind powers, I would use XP. It's inefficient, clunky, and you have to reformat and reinstall it every year or so, but it's the only operating system that actually runs anything interesting.

...Does anyone even still run Win95? God, that thing was like a cruel joke on humanity.

yeah but at least it's badness was almost prediictable there are a lot of linux dual-boot systems with win95 as there win OS.

I'm shocked you can even buy Win95 anymore. Do any modern programs actually support it? I thought they just "supported" it in the way NT is supported- as in, says so on the box but it won't actually run.

who said they bought it

it's just so you have someplace to stuff win files and open them natively i still use Ofice97 for the same reason but to use OO is my prefered productivy app.

Enjoy the Choice

Hehe a standoff between other OS and Windows XP.

I for my part like this poll. Wished reality would look the same

That 2/3 of the votes end up in the "other" category only demonstrates that the poll was poorly formulated in the first place.

Yeah, there is no option for Mac, Linux, and Windows VI, which are probably the three most relavant options at this point (though I guess an argument could be made that WinVI isn't really relevant until SP1 anyway).

I guess the poll could be edited, but I don't think it's worth it.

Win95 and 98 really are the least relevant... I don't think anyone cares whether VS works there... and if they do, then they should move to Linux.

Whoops... now the tallies are all off. Oh well.
Other => Linux 2.4

Now the poll is even more distorted --
Votes already tallied in "other" will result in under counting of the options not previously present in the pol.

And what am I to do with a network that is half PPC Mac & half Intel Mac ?

I use a dual boot to... Main one is XP, and second is Vista.

(I also used to have Knopix on my upstairs PC).

Found an interesting page today looking for something else a reason for Vista's poor Open GL performance it's emulated by DX10 http://ucguides.savagehelp.com/Quake3/F ... sVista.htm

I thought that the emulation was if you had the pretty special effects (actually I was working on a VI computer all today, and they aren't nearly as pretty as MacOSX or Beryl on Linux... but that's a different story)

Either way, I assume that the video card drivers can put in their own opengl.dll that can handle the calls natively.

I suspect that the emulation is only if you use stock microsoft drivers or you have a bad video card. However I don't really know how screwed up the driver system is in windows vista.
