What Platform are you using?

Just curious what we are using here for photo editing and related work.
I had assumed we were about 75 percent Windows,.
..but the number was pure fabrication. I'd be curious to know.

This Thread SHOULD NOT Become a contest of one Vs. the Other!!

If this thread becomes a PC Vs. Mac shouting match it will be deleted immediately,
or the offending post will be deleted.

I only add this as I have seen this particular discussion get out of hand in the past elsewhere,.
I know we are above that behavior,.
but you never know who may drop in and add there two cents

I considered putting linux in as a second operating system but decided not to. It would have been for curiosity anyway. I'm happy with Xp and am quite use to it.

I run my firewall, web server, email and such on Linux boxes. My apps run under Windows, but I have the Cygwin stuff loaded, so I spend half my time running a "Unix" environment inside my Windows box.

When Adobe puts out a Linux version of PS (and a few other companies do, too) then I'll move over to Linux full time.

XP on the desktops and laptops. Thinking about a Mac laptop as the 2 current laptops are Centrino based and have really poor graphics for editing and viewing.

Laptop running XP

One PC in the house, running Windows ME - its stable, and I avoid most of the security issues that hit the 2000/XP crowd.

Besides, I fool around with mainframes for a living, I don't want to mess with computers at home, too - I'm just a dumb, happy user at home.

Have Fun

2 PC's in house both with Windows XP.

Dos 5.0 on a 386SX with 4 meg of RAM and the mouse driver loaded high.
EGA with 256K on the video.

Wow,. only one MAc thus far against 19 PC... I certainly did not think it would be so squewed.

Windows for Teletubbies (XP). Made to look as much like NT 4 as I can reasonably manage.

Lol.. same here!!!!!

When I fist saw WinXP i said,. "why is it all fluffy like marshmallows"

Then the first time I instaled it I was livid at the default interface "effects"

..I mean ,. here i had just invested in all this super fast hardware, CPU, MainBoard, Gigs of DDR-RAM, and striped RAID 7200RPM HDs...

....and the "fluffy" XP interface makes every window,. every drop down menu , every step you take "slowly fade" into what I can hardly call "action" with the speed of a Pentium 100 and a 2MB S3 Virge graphcs card!!!!!

The first order of business was to figure out how to turn it ALL off.

I have a PC I built myself running XP ... only it looks like 2000 cause I cant stand the XP or Xtra Pretty look

Ill post a picture of it later

1.8Ghz AMD
1Gb DDR RAM
GeForce4 Ti4200
-128MB DDR
60Gb HDD(x3)

5x Linux
8x Windows Server 200x
3x Windows XP
1x Solaris
1x FreeBSD
1x OpenBSD
2x Irix

They all run all of the time and perform some kind of relatively useful function every day and that's all at home.

I don't even want to talk about how bad my power bill is. It's not so much the machines, but the A/C to cool it all...
