Linux? I've only used it a couple times. It was on the PS3 but Sony took it off for some reason.

ATM I have a custom built gaming PC which I've had for about a year and I love this thing. It has ATI Radeon 5800 for my Graphics card, 750 GB Hard Drive and a Quad Core processor with 3 GB's of RAM.

I do use Windows XP though for this computer, reason being I know XP like the back of my hand and I don't want to upgrade until I have to. I absolutely despise Windows Vista, but I do like Windows 7.

I don't have a Mac reason being I hate their OS. Mac's OS is very confusing for me to get around, I think it's because they were made for simple minded people.

For my web browser I use Firefox and it is infinitely better than Internet Explorer. But yea, that's what I'm running on.

Windows 7. It's better than Vista hoped to be. As for web browser, I use Google Chrome.

Yes I am. Like I said, I've been using XP for years and I know it like the back of my hand. I don't mind W7 but I'm not going to upgrade until I have to. I am going to get W7 eventually though.

But regardless of the OS I still love this thing like it's my baby.

I have Win XP (need to upgrade lol) on my gaming computer and I have Win 7 on my school laptop. Win 7 is easier to use in my opinion. I use Fire Fox for my internet browsing needs.

I use XP and Firefox.

I used to have a dual boot in Linux/Windows, but I never took the time to really improve in Linux, and it was some time ago, it wasn't yet as user friendly as it is now, I believe.

@goastatr
I feel much the same about my computers, if there down I have emotional reactions, it genuanly made me a bit sad when I had to retire my dir-615 router just before christmas because it was starting to die.

@astro_forever
you should give linux another shot, it has come a long way in the past 5 years.

I know. I will, someday, but I'm too lazy for that these days, I'll wait until I feel like it. :cool:

Sorry, I have to poke fun at that comment. :p

I have a Mac, and I enjoy it. The only problem I with it is that I can't manually clean up cookies or defragment, I have to trust that the Macbook is doing it itself. For browsers I switch back and forth between Safari and Firefox. The former has be acting funky lately, even after updates.
