    Which Computer OS do you use?

    If nothing more than for my own curiosity, I would like to see the percentage of Mac users on the forum. As I had mentioned on one of Mitsidrivers posts (and have inadvertently seems to have hijacked it, Sorry), I feel that as a whole Mitsubishi drivers look further into things rather than just going with the majority or be persuaded by "unbreakable" add campaigns.

    I do not in any way want this to be about which is better or some other hidden agenda. Thanks

    Ps, I have never done a poll, so I hope it works.

    I can see how you could summarize the mitsubishi and mac in the same boat.

    Not many aftermarket accessories are available for either.

        I have windows because I like to play games on my computer. If it wasn't for games I would learn how to use Linux.

          It wont let me tick all three? Typing on a MacBook Pro at the moment that I use for creativity tasks (mostly video editing), have a Windows XP and a Windows 7 PC as desktops in the house, and a Linux / Debian based TV server in the lounge room. Which is the nicest to use? Mac OSX by far.

                At home I have 3 laptops, each with a different OS:
                - Vista - rubish. Will move to windows 7 soon enough.
                - XP - On a netbook.
                - Ubuntu Linux - kitchen computer. For web surfing, and kids to use.

                We only keep the Vista one for my wife's business where she needs Windows only software like MYOB.

                    Lack of scanner drivers and the hassles I had trying to run Oziexplorer stop me from moving to Linux at home/in the car.
                    No, I don't have a scanner in the car :-S

                      Well, Macs are running at 18% and they make up approx 12% market share. I might be onto something!

                      I am some what surprised that there are 2 in the other category making 6% if you add them both together I believe that we would be far more pragmatic vehicle purchases as a whole.

                      Now all I have to do is infiltrate prado point.

                      Thank to all those who have voted so far.

                              we run XP on a laptop and a netbook. Will seriously look at Mac for our next machine. I was an early Mac user (starting in late 80s) but had to change to Windows about 10 years ago because of work arrangements. Now I want to go back.
