os poll - Blu-ray Forum

jorg · 01-04-2007, 11:10 PM

i wanna see what people hear are running

octogon · 01-05-2007, 05:16 AM

I've played around w/ the BETA products

and look forward to having it on my main PC, after a massive hardware upgrade (AMD, Now and Forever), of course!

Banjo · 01-05-2007, 05:27 AM

OS X 10.4.8 (Tiger)

We don't really call it Mac. Just OS X.

phloyd · 01-05-2007, 05:47 AM

All of those but Vista.

Shadowself · 01-05-2007, 02:22 PM

What if I'm running OS X, XP (under Parallels), Vista (Release Candidate 1 under Bootcamp), Yellow Dog Linux and Free BSD on the same box?

How do I report that in the poll?

I do have stand alone boxes with a single OS on them too, but they're much less fun.

Spankey · 01-05-2007, 02:30 PM

Loving Vista! Ugh...its a MS product..

mbslrm · 01-05-2007, 03:24 PM

I got XP Pro and Edgy Eft on my machine, but i just voted Linux.

How many bugs and glitches have you run into already?

I'm sorry, but there's NO way I'd ever take on a new MS OS without AT LEAST 6 months out on the street for it, if not more.

Obviously seeing the date, I'm sure I don't want to ask or know how some of you already have Vista...

Actually..Not a lot. It runs really well, and every application I need to run, with the exception of my work VPN software runs.

I am completely legit. Tech Net Plus subscriptions really come in handy.

jorg · 01-05-2007, 04:57 PM

will it run on my old dell with 1.2 ghz cpu 756ram?

Spankey · 01-05-2007, 05:10 PM

Maybe barely. You will need a decent video card for aero to display. I upgraded to 2gb of RAM just to be on the safe side. I'm running it on a Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop with an Nvidia 6800 vid card. I mostly play WoW and maybe it is Directx 10, but I did get a bit of a performance boost. My sound drivers slow me down a tad. Ultimately, Vista runs just as well as XP and is great OS. Too bad Blu-ray support wasn't built in.

Sorry, the poll wasn't made multiple choice originally so it can't be re-edited from that.

Would need to be started again.

I too am completely legit, I run no MS software, in fact the only MS items in my house are MS intellimouse and the X360. We all use linux and 'emulate' windows programs under WINE in my house. Mmm WINE.

Only made the jump recently though, it was difficult to start, but 2-3 weeks in and now I would recommend it to all.

Stuart Kirby · 01-07-2007, 12:27 PM

OS X 10.4.8 all the way! Except on my PowerBook and Mac mini which are still 10.3.9... MacBook is fully Tiger'd though

U4K61 · 09-20-2008, 04:37 AM

One PC has XP, and the other, a 100 Mhz Pentium with a 1 gig HDD, has Windows 95 OSR2. I can't remember when I got the old clunker - I think it was around 1993 - but does it's job. It still has the origional CMOS battery. Amazing. I will probably retire it when I get something with Windows 7.

XP and Vista - gotta have Blu-ray playback!

quexos · 09-20-2008, 05:04 AM

The OP should at least formulate within the poll, a question. So what is asked here ?
what OS we like ? what OS we use ? what OS we hate ? what OS we plan to get later on ? ...
