Do you like use Windows or Unix/Linux? [modified]

[gynvael]

Both, Windows and Linux ;> Each on it's own piece of hardware G.C.

Yes, I use Ubuntu at home for personal use (and some development with Mono and Ruby/Python) and I use Windows XP at home for some legacy stuff. I then use Windows XP at work because I have to.

Windows 95 and the crap known as ME

Got bless I never had the privilege of using 95 and ME, I did once see Win 2.0 being used though.

.net is a box of never ending treasures, every day I get find another gem.

I use Windows, since it's the only OS that works... I've tried Linux (SUSE) but I lost so much time trying to make it understand my devices!

[hairy_hats]

Windows at work. I used to use Ubuntu Linux as much as possible at home but am fed up with the broken support for my scanner, Gaim no longer runs, print quality is poor, etc etc, so next time I'm getting an iMac. :-D

My main OS is Mac OS X. I have Ubuntu Linux and Windows XP installed on it though in VMs. My server's OS is Solaris though. I get to interact with all of them daily.

Redflag Linux I use now, it's a distribution of Linux in China. But I also use WindowXP at office because that our product works on Windows following our customer.

Programming is not all, the application is!

Is it true that in China, you can find illegal copies of software that appear legal sold for practially nothing?

In Brazil, they are sold on every single city, on the biggest streets and avenues, by street merchants ("Need games or programs for your computer, sir?"). No matter which software it is, it costs R$ 5 (around US$ 2). But the copies are clearly pirate, even the sellers say it's pirate software (actually, they use the word "alternative"). No one who uses pirate software can say "hey, I bought this CD and thought that it was legal!". I often see even cops buying music CDs from them, as their salary is very low. :sigh:

So my question is that: do you use Windows or Unix/Linux?

Both. At work mostly Linux (SUSE and CentOS), at home mostly Windows (XP).

UNIX and Linux ROCK! Windows on the other hand, well, it's windows... I unfortunately have to deal with both. Kind regards to all.:cool:

I think you're being a bit naive to believe that most of the rest of the world has no forged stuff being sold. I've seen a fair amount here in Ireland that looks mostly legit, but certainly isn't.

[destynova]

I use Ubuntu on my home PC, and my girlfriend (who is, coincidentally, Chinese) uses Windows XP on my old laptop. I deleted XP off my desktop machine because the hard drive is only 80 gigs :)

[Lampros Giampouras]

Same here ;)

Hey! Have heared about VMWare? It's pretty nice...

Why is it so many of my posts begin with that subject line? Although stuck in a C# Windows world I long for the days of Linux.

Both. Work is a .net shop, so we have to use Windows. At home/play, I muck around on Linux, just recently BackTrack2 was released, which is a mighty useful set of tools.

Software pirating is a huge problem in China.

I'm not denying that. I'm just saying that it's a mistake to assume that the rest of the world avoids piracy like the plague. There's a fair bit going on everywhere. It's too easy to apportion blame far away and underestimate the extent to which it's happening closer to home (e.g. "corruption here? But this is the Western world... no way!").

[kumvnode]

Well I use both Windows and Linux..:)
