    Well I'd kind of like to know which operating system you are on.. So please vote, and tell me If I should add something I forgot or don't know about.

    I guess I'll go first, I'm on XP which I like :D
    Tell me what your on and discuss...

    Windows XP, like it very much. If I could choose though, I'd go for Leopard. Only problem I have with Leopard is the compatibility.

    We're getting vista though... Don't know how that'll turn out.

    I run Vista


    I'm very tempted to download and use Windows 7 though - a friend has it and it seems like Vista without all the annoying crap.

    If Windows 7 is all it's cracked up to be, I think that'll take over in a big way from Vista. A lot of Vista users hate the annoying security messages, and all of that stuff..

    Oh I meant that as a list, with the first being preference over the next, so XP is what I love and use the most, while mac being the least used although I still use it Dx.

    I use Vista and I really hate it.

    The security alerts are quite annoying and I don't know how to get rid of them. =/

    Its always saying: Warning you are about to type the letter 'S'. Would you like to continue?

    XD Well not exactly that, but you get the point that its annoying.

    Its called User Account Confirmation(UAC) or something like if I'm not wrong. You can disable it. Go to control panel > User Accounts. You can find an option called Disable/Enable User Account Confirmation(or whatever it is).
