Neways I wanted to find out the latest readings too! So u may request the mods to add a poll entitled "Which operating system u use mainly" 1. Windows 2. Linux 3. Others.

Actually my question would be Windows or Mac? Since coming to Uni, I've noticed that more people here use a Mac as compared to Windows / Linux. I'm planning to a computer upgrade, so I was wondering if I should go for a Mac...

8 Mac PowerPC <1%
9 Windows NT <1%
10 Windows Vista <1%

XP Rocks

windows is more prfrd globally..for several reasons, hence over 90% use them. windowsxp/sp2 is quite secure and stable. it only gets attacked more bcoz it is more popular. hackers/malware writers would want to be famous amongst this 90%+, wudnt they now ?

i prefer and suggest windows xp/sp2...as there is a slo a lot u can do with windows ;-)

i am using linux. it goes to *www.linux.org/

can anbody post, where it goes for window users?

Google does not differenciate between Linux and Windows users, so it will go to *www.linux.org/ regardless of the operating system you use.

Those stats are wrong. Mac users amount to more than six percent of the total computer users. These stats are quoting a figure of less than four percent.
