[Paul]

Interesting to find out what freewebspace members run on there computers.

This is strictly windows based, no comparing apple/linux because we already know whos the clear winner:lol:

Have Fun

[Reider]

2000 pro

[d-j]

ah.. i cant choose more than one..

coz i use XP prof (primary) and 98 (for testing my project)

[iBrightDev]

i cant give a very accurate posting with my answer. i voted vista since it is on my main comp, other than that, i have XP Pro on my laptop, wifes computer, and work computer.

but, i sort of miss the good ol' 2000 Pro i used to run. what a stable OS (for Microsoft that is) :P

BTW, you really shouldn't put Windows ME / 2000 like that. ME is crap, and 2000 Pro was great.
You should change it to...
Windows ME (crap)
Windows 2000 Pro (awesome)

reason being is like putting Windows 98 and XP together. Totally different. 2000 is an NT based OS, ME isnt.

[Secret]

winxp pro (primary)
win 98 (running in 100 mhz pentium 1 old laptop, a bit slow)

@ paul : and maybe the one who choose other OS use Linux (I guess)

[themoose]

Vista Ultimate :D

[DarkBlood]

I use Windows XP - Home Ed, I will NOT be buying Vista ever. I'll probably use Apple/Linux if I buy anything nearly as expensive.

Why won't you ever be buying Vista?

Access 2007 isn't compatible with it.
wxWidgets can replace Gadgets any day.
Linux comes with Gadgets like Windows has, and it's a FREE OS.
It's Microsoft

2k3 is the best for stable reasons byut i use xp pro.

Windows 2003 was released as a web server only though, right?

Do you really use Access 2007? What the hell is it even for?

I don't even use gadgets anyway.

I use Vista Ultimate but I use classic mode and try to convince myself its Win98.

Me too. :cool2: I've always loved the classic look.

the new look is way better IMO

[LSComputers]

Well here goes, and no these Operating systems are not all on on PC, I have listed them in the sets of PCs there on :). I like to have them so I can keep up with any new tricks :).

IBM Dos 6.1 / IBM Dos 6.2
Windows 95 / Windows 98 / Windows 98 SE
Windows 2000 / Windows ME
Windows XP Home / Windows XP Pro / Windows XP Media Edition 05
Windows Server 2003
Windows Vista Home (more to come)

I get OS's free with my computer shop so I tend to install a lot of them, these are all on different hot-swapped hard drives, lol and yes 6 computers all currently running.

I mainly use my other PC this one, which only has my Windows Media Edition on it, as I like this version best :).

I think I have all the windows covered ;), starting to test some Linux flavors, any favorites?

[cmartin]

the new look is way better IMO

I agree, but every now and then, I like to switch things up a bit. :-)

I run Windows XP MCE, which is Windows XP Pro in most peoples eyes.

[utcrazy]

I do run windows 3.11 which is the networked version of Windows 3.1 I just recently upgraded from Windows 1.0, I was finding too many bugs, security is key!

There's also Windows 3.2 availible. Although my old zenith monochrome LCD Screen laptop (white, no modem, but is networkable but not via ethernet nor chains) cannot handle that one. It has a hard time with DOS 5.1

You wasted your money mate.. 3.1 has SO many bugs and is SO expensive. It'll take you ages to figure out what's where. Windows 3.1 will NEVER catch on. You're better off just going back to windows 1.0.

[d-j]

wow.. amazing.. i never use windows 3.11 since 10-13 years ago i think.. :D . Uhhmmm.. my version of dos was 6.22 at the moment

Paul must add win 3.x and 1.x i think :P

DOS 6.22 is a standalone DOS, you can't run it without some problems occuring in windows if I'm thinking correctly. Since Windows comes with a non-standalone DOS since Windows 2000 Home / NT.

I'd love to run Wine, but it appears that software updates (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_%28software%29#Microsoft_and_Wine) cannot be obtained. Thanks Microsoft for acknowledging its existence though! :)

yes u right bud.. DOS 6.22 is a standalone os :-)
Actually DOS 6.22 was my main os, not win 3.11. :D I must type win in dos prompt or run with automatically with autoexec.bat . It was 13 years ago, with my 486, Hardisk 42Mb, edo ram 640kb :P .

[Galaxy-Hosts.com]

I use the one thats made by Microsoft :P :evilb:Just kidding, I run XP Pro.

[TSO]

Access is a DBMS. And I use Windows XP (though my next computer will be a MacBook with BootCamp!).

[tpnoc]

XP Pro and I got a 2003 server standard from my school back when I was studying surprisigly, it's still running and no expiration has occured yet.

[AdamJ]

[Robert]

XP Pro. Will remain on XP Pro until Sp2 for Vista comes out.

[Dan]

xp Home. I'm poor. :P
Hope to get a new PC by the end of the summer so may go XP Pro or Vista

[Jan]

XP Home came with my newish computer. I had to look in the box of tricks to see which one it was :p

[Paul]

Jan,

You use XP, thought you still would be stuck on 95:evilb:

[Kwek]

Windows XP Pro SP2.

[Jan]

Jan,

You use XP, thought you still would be stuck on 95:evilb:
Why would you think that? :confused4 I upgraded to 98 in '98 and ME in 2000 (which ran very nicely thank you knockers :p, until I got the new puter)

[Dini]

[sellwhm]

I have two hard drives on my computer. I run ubuntu and Windows XP Home Edition.

[Hypernic]

Windows XP Pro or Windows 2003 Server Edition.

Server Edition uses less processes.

[64ninjas]

I run windows xp pro x64 edition on my amd chip :beer:

You can't run Windows XP off of hardware, only Windows Vienna can do that without being installed on the HDD. Unless that's not what you meant. Another instance of hardware OSes is Linux and Microsoft Dashboard. The latter (Dashboard) can only be run on the XBOX360.

That's not what he meant.. (I think), he meant that he runs xp, and he has an amd chip.. pretty obvious really.

Replying to an old comment here, sue me. Vista was built off Server 2K3.

[StoneRaven]
