Yes! Finally an other Mac user among all these PC users. You cannot know how happy I was to read your response, and just because you use a Mac.
But for the response itself; I love the fact that you can boot multiple Operating Systems on Mac. I'm myself going to reformate at least Ubuntu and Windows XP/Windows 7. For other Systems I'l see later.

i am using winodws xp service pack 2. i have also used windows vista but reverted to xp becasue vista was using lot of system recourses and disk space as well. i found xcp better than vista. maybe windows 7 is better but xp is easier

Yeah, Microsoft totally failed with the Vista... They should have given Windows 7 for free for all the disappointed Vista buyers. Or that's what I think.
Or of course you could get a Mac! ...or not xD

I am using Debian Linux right now. Nowadays I hate Windows because it's sucks. It crashes a lot, it runs slow, and it's not free.
Although there are still many people that use Windows as their OS. And mostly they grab it from stores which is not authorized Microsoft dealer and they bought the CD for only 15000 Rupiahs 1.5 U$D or even 25000 Rupiahs (2.5 U$D).
It's really hard to avoid piracy in Indonesia, I've encouraged my friends to move to Linux and some are migrating now :)

On the laptop I'm using right now, this one is Windows Vista Home Premium. On our desktop we use Windows XP. Here in the Philippines, most people use Windows XP as their OS. I don't know anyone who uses MAC. But I think you can use XP on a Mac notebook. I'm not sure but I think I have read it somewhere.

Yes, the Philippines is an XP country! I don't know... Maybe people can't afford Vista yet. Or, maybe because XP is easy to use and easy to repair. The economic situation here pushes people to love pirated copies of XP, they don't want to spend even for a operating system. They would rather rent or borrow a copy of XP from a neighbor, than spend on original OS. Then they would turn off Windows update to avoid detection by Bill Gates! :)

well i have partitioned my drive so i have linux mint and windows 7 running off it. windows xp tends to be the most used operating system, although many people are opting to windows 7. more than went to vista. but this is mainly due to the good reveiws it got due to nearly all bugs fixed

I'm still using the slightly outdated Windows XP on both my desktop and laptop. My son, who is a computer guy, tried Vista and is now using Windows 7. He says that 7 is a much better operating system than Vista and if you have a computer with enough processor and memory to run it, it's the best one to use.
On the other hand, he also says that if you can afford it, the best way to go is an Apple computer. I'm getting a new laptop soon as my present one is slowing down and having a few problems, which PC's tend to do after a few years of use, and I'll be getting a MacBook Pro. It'll be my first Mac and I'm looking forward to seeing just how they compare.

Windows XP SP3, and by now it's working good for me.
But I guess when I format my PC maybe I try Win7, everybody talks good things about it.

Well actually I don't have a Windows, but a Mac. I think Macs are better and don't start commenting: "macs are 4 n00bs", or something. I just like Macs over Windows and that's it. They are fast as hell when surfing, because safari works even faster on a Mac.
Get a Mac! ...or not xD

I went right from XP to W7 and very happy about it. Of course I ran into some 64bit compability problems on the software/hardware I used before, but overall impression is good

My laptop is currently running on Windows 7 operating system. This is a vast improvement over its predecessor, Windows Vista. I am quite happy with it, because it operates with lesser problems than Windows Vista. Internet speed is as fast as on Windows Vista and Windows XP, as the deciding factor is mainly on the ISP and the network.

I am using window XP now because my laptop memory only 1 GB if I use vista it will run very slowly. I think your internet connection speed depend on your internet provider.

Right now i am using Windows XP pentium M.
XP is faster then VISTA or windows 7. That's why i format it in XP.
And mine one is very new that's why so fast still.
Moreover our net spreed is good.
