I this thread i would like to see what os are you using and some opinions about it , problems that you faced i'm using windows 7 right now , had some problems with my sound and video card but i've downloaded their drivers from internet and now it's working good. It's using a bit more memory than windows xp witch I had before but it looks better

QUOTE(Spectre @ Apr 7 2009, 00:22)  Because Dell (other companies have done this as well but I'll keep to the example) wanted to re-tout old hardware with a new OS to make a few extra quick bucks at the expense of usability. It happened when XP came out, and will probably continue to happen in the future.  In the mean time, the OS gets the blame, not the hardware manufacturer.

As always, and as planned.

7 is still in beta and there doesn't appear to be an exact date on release. I personally don't blindly jump into a new release. Go for Ultimate and don't worry too much about 7 until it has been out for a while and has a Service Pack on it.
Aye, aye! Also, what's the deal with this Vista Red Ultimate crap anyway?

So they are the same as the normal Ultimate version?
Damn, I could have gotten one for $64.95 if I had known about it a couple of months ago before I graduated.

Oh, wait! I'm still eligible for the student price for Vista Red Ultimate.  So, I just need a confirmation that it is the same as the regular Vista Ultimate before I buy it.

What is different is that it comes with "(PRODUCT)RED wallpapers, gadgets, a unique screensaver and DreamScene."

Might as well chime in here.
Personally, I have a Vista Ultimate 64 bit, a Windows XP Tablet 32 bit, a Windows XP Pro 32 bit, a Linux (tri-boot, three different distros right now), a BSD (dual-boot, Free and Open), a "who the hell knows" that I format an average of twice a week, two Windows Server 2003 32 bit, another Linux (Fedora), yet another Linux (Debian right now), and one more Linux (Ubuntu).
Throw in a Fedora box at work too.
Oh, and a mac laptop I haven't turned on in....6 months? Think it is running OSX.

No, I won't slow down, thank you.

This [ en.wikipedia.org] new OS being developed by some dude in Russia sounds like a neat idea. Hopefully it's not just a pipe-dream.

I'm using 64 bit Windows Vista Home Premium w/ SP1 on my new laptop.
I would downgrade to XP but Vista seems to be pretty stable on this system.
