Just a simple poll
Just curious about what people here are using...
I'm a (recently converted) Apple/OS X user and am very happy with it..

For some reason the forum ate my last option, which was BSD (other than OS X).
Linux is nice, but I'm starting to get the idea that it's just not going to cut it if you want real security and stability. *BSD is much better then. So far I've only had experience with FreeBSD, but it's very good...
If you have a chance, you really should try it, docs are pretty good as well, better than any other free OS I've ever seen.

that's only if you don't have StyleXP.
I use WinXP, but I play around with it. Note the custom icons, the cool visual style (no stupid blue/green!) and the kickin' calendar/system stats.

I use XP, but honostly I frigging hate it. It's been dumbed down to the point where I can never find anything that I want to do. So it's off to the internet whenever something goes wrong, which is about twice a week. If there's one thing that I do more than play cantr it's fix up my computer so it can run as smooth as possible.

I like that calendar on the right - what kind of prog is that?
... And what are you going to sell
...
I use both Linux and WinXP. I'm a big Linux fan and I hate Microsoft, but I secretly really like WinXP
...
We don't seem to have many Linux users in Cantr:
1. Windows XP 83.8 %
2. Windows 2000 13.5 %
3. Windows 98 2.7 %
Totaal 100.0 %
1. Internet Explorer 6.x 81.1 %
2. Mozilla Firefox 1.x 10.8 %
3. Opera 7.x 5.4 %
4. Internet Explorer 5.x 2.7 %
Totaal 100.0 %
That's just all hits, though - not percentage of players, but percentage of hits on start page.

Apart from a couple of days over Christmas, when I used my parents machine (currently Win98 but likely to be upgraded to Ubuntu Linux when they get broadband) I've only used Linux (with Firefox) to log in. My brother also plays, again mainly from Linux.
I'm wondering why it doesn't feature in those stats?

Swymir, if you can afford it, then moving to the Apple platform sounds like a good idea
If not, try BSD sometime, have a look at http://www.freebsd.org and give it a spin.
I stopped using Windows for exactly that reason and it is saving me huge amounts of time. Granted, I had to take some time to install it all and get things running, but when you do, you're running smoothly without weird problems.

The program is called Rainlendar (and the box below it with systemstats in it is called Rainmeter). Both are heavily customizable (i'm using the 'rewind v 2' skin for the calendar/todo list, and the 'rewind' skin for the 'meter) and both are available at http://www.ipi.fi/~rainy/index.php
The stuff I was going to sell is mostly schoolbooks. Nothing exciting.
And something tells me that 75% of that 5% that's using Opera 7 is me
