what OS should I run

(1/4) > >>

Unosuke:
three options.

1) stick with good ol XP

2) Install vista (free disc from HP) and get the leaked Service Pack (I've heard good things about it)

3) Hack the ever-loving snot out of everything and wrestle OSX onto my PC (I've seen it done before but I would have to read many a forum thread to even begin to know what I'm doing)

Valrus:
oh god no

DavidGrohl:
  4)  Ubuntu


  If you're going to stick to those options, I'd go with XP if it's what you're comfortable with.  OSX is a no-no on a PC, as it'll be troublesome to get to run and it's not going to run as well on anything foreign (PC).  Vista is . . . ok . . . if you like a child-like interface.  Also, I'd wait until the actual service pack is released if you want Vista -- you'll probably end up reinstalling the OS once the update is released anyways, since the leaked isn't the final version.

The Cosmic Fool:
My suggestion is to run both XP and Vista. Thus, dual-booting. This is what I do, and have XP set as the default so if I want to mess with Vista then I'll just select it when I reboot. XP is set to start 7 seconds or so once the OS selections screen is up.

That way you could play with Vista and use XP for most your stuff. Just my two-cents.

But I'll add that running OSX on a PC sounds massively intriguing to me.

Catfish_Man:
Intriguing, sure, but you'll be running unsupported older versions, with uncertain driver support. I can't say I'd recommend it.
