The new poll uses checkboxes, so you can select more than one option. So choose the OSes you like. PS: If you vote for Vista, you will be banned on the spot! :P		2009-01-2311:58 AM

You can trust that I didn't do it, when I ran my windows pc I put a new mouse in. I restarted the pc because it didn't know it was there but instead there was a C drive error it couldn't find the registery files? lool		2009-01-236:13 PM

I was tempted to vote for vista since I have to use it occasionally at work. (Work for a software company in support, so sometimes have to test stuff on other os's), but since the poll is os's you like I declined. My machine at work is xp 64-bit But I have vm's of SLES 10/9 (our software can run on linux and this is the version we support) Windows server 2003, 2003 64-bit (and soon a 2008 server) Windows XP (32-bit) Windows Vista Gentoo (One of our products uses this) At home I have vm's of lots of different os's Dos 6.22 + Windows 3.11 Windows 95 Windows 98 Ubuntu OS/2 version 3 +win 3.1		2009-01-241:27 AM

I should try Gentoo. I just use Ubuntu on my desktop because getting software for it is so easy. On my laptop, I run Mac OS X of course, and although its much better than windows, I find applications freeze a lot more on it than Linux. My complaint with Linux is Wifi support, I have 5 different cards, only one works with linux, and I can't get Ndis working in anything other than puppy. I suppose It could be that I am making a mistake somehow. I use windows daily at school and everyday I remember why I hate it. My school runs Core 2 Duos with gigs of RAM and xp crawls, I haven't timed it but XP probably takes 5mins to boot to a fully responsive desktop. Syllable boots in just under 1 minute on my 233MHz Cyrix!!		2009-01-241:24 PM
ToddRe:New Poll
It could also be the machines themselves. Windows networks are very pokey. You own a computer with a Cyrix 386DLC? I have a Tandy laptop that runs a Cyrix 386DLC/SLC (~60 MHz). That would be ideal for testing bare GUIs and OSes. The only problem is that the hard drive is 80 MB. :P		2009-01-246:00 PM
Re:New Poll
Just a comment about booting up speed: On my fedora linux computer, it used to take atleast 3 minutes to boot at the default graphical runlevel. Now I changed to boot to runlevel 3 and now my computer boots in average at about 1 minute. And this is an older version of fedora. So I'm not sure if its the same in all linux distros, but there is a file at /etc thats called inittab just change the default:: part from 5 to 3. It should speed up boot very significantly. I've been reading about BeOS (some operating system) and apparantly it is highly optimized and fast meant to run lots of multimedia apps. And it says that it takes under 20 seconds to boot on the less-old systems. I'm too lazy to try it though...		2009-01-246:10 PM
BrandonRe:New Poll
My Cyrix is a 233MHz Media GX MMX. For GUIs I have an AMD 486 66Mhz, and a Intel 486 33Mhz, and for multaskers I have some 200Mhz-ish Pentiums. And XP runs slow in general, my family has a shared PC, 3GB RAM, 3GHz P4, WinXP, I would not use a computer before I used XP on that POS. EDIT: I noticed its hard to see the results, this makes it easier: http://theguiblog.com/index.php?option=com_pollxt&task=results&Itemid=0&id=17		2009-01-246:24 PM
