How many computers do you have in your home?

I have two computers,one desktop and the other laptop,both of which have XP ultimate on them.I have tried Windows7,but I do change it to XP because of its compatibility are defective.As a university student,I need to learn many softwares.While Windows7 can`t identify some of them ideally as XP does.Also my laptop is a little dismoded,it can`t support W7 well.I prefer to choose XP rather than buy a new one.Although the “touch screen" that W7 supports attracts me,I have no choices but to go with XP before I have enough money to buy such a great computer that W7`"touch screen" requires,and I`m sure it will be a long way to go,and a long time to wait. Well I must accept that I also believe Windows7 wil does better and dominates in the future.

Well if you count lap tops and desk tops we have 6 in our house. Each member of the family has their own computer and my husband also has a lap top that he takes back and forth to work with him. We technically don't own it though if he ever quits the company or gets fired or layed off he will have to give it back. But right now with that lap top we have 6. A couple of them are really old though.

I have computer and laptop which are installed with XP. There are new versions like vista or windows7 but i am comfortable with windows XP, in fact as i am so familiar with it, i do not wish to change to new versions however it may have additional features

HEY...I'm inviting you to try UBUNTU 9.10...very nice operating system..it's free from the web..free OS, free software updates, and free security updates..VERY NICE..

I own a desktop and a laptop and both run on Vista. I preferred XP, when I first got Vista, but I'm getting use to Vista and I really haven't had any problems, so now I wouldn't go back. I might go foward to 7, but not anytime soon. As for starting your own business, you got one hurdle covered, you like what you do? Now do you want to deal with the business plan, marketing, sales, customer service, etc. of a business? I do have a home business I started last year. I scan photos, slides, negatives, and film and digitize these onto CDs for customers. I also build slideshows and burn these on to DVDs, video CDs, etc. or put the show on the individuals website, etc.. I haven't done a lot of marketing, but the business is slowly growing through referrals, primarily. I love building the shows and I love having my own business.

Right now I have one desktop that I built myself that is running Windows 7 and there are a total of 4 labtops that are running XP that all use for various things.

Hello free_man. I would like to suggest you to increase a bit your skill before start a computer repair business. If I go in a computers service shop and the people there talk to me about OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer), referring to the OS (operative system), I will run away from the shop, and I will suggest all the people I know to keep away from that shop, because the workers there don't know what they are talking about. About the sentence "vista unlike xp can copy to disk"... is not so much clear what do you mean... can you explain it?

Well, this is something very interesting becoz. At my home, we have three desktop for each sisters and two laptops. We use it individually and different choice of O is installed. I love linux and my bro XP. These days computers are very common. And you can see this in each house. I can even fix my computer if there is any problem. I have owned one of my own. Rest is owned by my father.

Ok about your vista OS i suggest change it to win7, because vista is the worst OS microsoft has ever made, believe me anyway you can check it on the web, vista vs. windows7. As a computer technician I only work at home waiting for some clients call, most of my clients are owning an internet shop and some are only recommend to me by friend, if you really love fixing computers then go for it start your own business. I have two computers now, a laptop which I always bring especially when repairing computer outside, its much easy to troubleshoot computer problem if you have a laptop and it saves you a lot of time, and also I have my desktop which i use if i want to relax and play games, watching dvd's, editing videos pictures. I wish you all the best and goodluck . :D

we have five. one per person.

I have 12 computers mainly for business use. I don't like Vista. I use windows 7. I am glad with its performance and I like its new features.

We have two desktop computers and a laptop, all are running in Windows XP. And no, I don't think I can start a business at home, maybe I'll get a shop, just not here in the house. And yah i like fixing computers.

We have two computers at home.One desktop and one laptop who both have Windows 7 ultimate on them. I am not really good with fixing computers and tinkering with them so my brother is the left with the job if maintaining my laptop and the main one. I think it is a great idea to have my own computer shop and have either my brother or my boyfriend as technicians just so I have someone to look after those things.

recently i amhaving having just one computerin my home.......

I probably wouldn't run a computer business out of my home. I think the place is too small for that. I live in a so-called one-bedroom apartment, and the way its designed there is barely enough room for Myself, George, and our two cats much less what would be required for a home-based business. Right now I've got one active laptop, and another in a case its a back-up should something happen. But, that's it. I don't need much more then that.

I own two laptops, one Vista and one XP. Personally I prefer the XP over the Vista since it is more stable and reliable.

Hi there free_man... We have three computers in our household as of now... One desktop and two laptops... The desktop with XP installed in it is shared by us (me, my younger sister, and my younger brother...) One laptop with Windows7 installed in it is used by my older brother and the other laptop with Vista installed in it is used by my auntie... It is really funny having different OS. xD

we have three computers at home. bout software, I have experience with XP, Vista and and windows seven. actually i enjoy windows seven, it's great. but my husband said there's something not compatible with my PC. I dunno which part is it. and all computers are maintained by my husband. so he installed same programs on all of them. Frankly I don't know much about computer and its software and hardware. so thank God cos I have a husband who really understands bout computer much. then we don't need to meet another technician if we have problem with our computers.

I have two desktop PC's at home, and both have installed Windows XP, I don't like vista. I've repaired computers since a few years ago, I like doing it...
