Windows, because I haven't used a Mac long enough to really get familiar with it.

Mac, ANYthing is better than MI©®O$OFT

lordvader781 · « **Reply #3 on:** May 21, 2007, 10:04:15 AM »

Windows, despite the fact that I like the apple look better. Also because more applications, particularly games, tend to be made more for Windows than Macs.

Windows. Mac beats your dogs and pees on the television.

Lol, another one!?!?

For me, probably Windows XP --> Linux Ubuntu --> Windows 98 --> OSX

Dark Blade · « **Reply #13 on:** May 21, 2007, 11:55:17 PM »

WINDOWS XP!!
Is Microsoft really cutting off their support of XP in 2011?

BTW C.D., what's Linux Ubuntu?

And should this topic be moved to Off-Topic?

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #14 on:** May 22, 2007, 12:01:03 AM »

Yes i think this should now be moved to Off-Topic.

Linux Ubuntu is a version of Linux

Microsoft is making a HUGE mistake cutting their support for XP.
Im probably not even going to get a new computer.

What's this about? Last I heard, they were going to support it for almost eight more years. Was I misinformed or did they change their minds?

Dark Blade · « **Reply #16 on:** May 22, 2007, 12:32:00 AM »

Ask Carbon. He told me about it in the first place.

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #17 on:** May 22, 2007, 12:43:35 AM »

It was on a post in either the Other forum or the Off Topic forum. I dunno.

Dark Blade · « **Reply #18 on:** May 22, 2007, 04:18:05 AM »

OK, why is this topic under FAQ Solution Database?

spadman · « **Reply #19 on:** May 22, 2007, 12:40:45 PM »

Mac, used to it

OK with some forms of linux that would work on my computer (ubuntu crashed it)
Windows and linux I can cope with.
Mac has all the software you need, and no viruses

spadman · « **Reply #20 on:** May 22, 2007, 01:11:05 PM »

Don't blame the computer for the pricing, Apple is a monopoly, but the computers and software I still think are better

Your info is inaccurate...

Quote

Microsoft on Wednesday extended support for its Windows XP Home and Windows XP Media Center operating systems through 2014...

The addition of a five-year "extended support" phase to Windows XP will take effect in May 2009. In Microsoft parlance, extended support is the period when all support is fee-based and non-security hotfixes are produced only for corporate customers. Until April of 2009, Windows XP Home and Media Center will remain in what is called "mainstream support," which offers some no-charge support and free updates that don't deal with security issues.

Previously, all support for Windows XP Home was slated to end two years after the release of Vista, in other words, at the end of January 2009...

Thanks for the info, pat. Not quite as long as I had thought, but close enough.

I question the opinion of someone who spells Microsoft like "MI©®O$OFT".

Normally, when someone shows such dis-taste for Microsoft, they're a Linux user, in my experience, and why would anyone with a brain, or Brian for that matter, choose Mac over anything else?

helper · « **Reply #28 on:** May 23, 2007, 12:57:55 PM »

because linux wasn't an option at the time

Well how do you explain "MI©®O$OFT" then? Hmm?

And who gives a *censored* about "options". You should've made it an option.

Pfft. Lightweight.
