--- Quote from: Sidhekin on 20 Apr 2013, 12:47 ---In an argument about Windows versions, don't expect OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, nor other Unixen to be hot topics.
Unless neck-beard AI makes a cameo. 8-)
* Sidhekin is mostly a Linux user, but the only thing keeping him from sharing his workplace experience with Vista, is the dread of reliving it all.

I've got four Linux machines, one OS X machine, and one FreeBSD machine running simultaneously, plus a couple Solaris machines, another couple Linux machines, and another OS X machine in my storage unit.
The Linux machines:
bhtooefr-server, Dell Dimension 2100 running Ubuntu Server 10.04
Eowyn, Asus RT-N16 running DD-WRT
unnamed WRT54G running DD-WRT in client bridge mode
Droid 2 Global running Android 2.3.4
(in storage) HP TouchPad running Android 4.0.something
(in storage) another WRT54G running DD-WRT
The OS X machines:
bhtooefr-mbpr, MacBook Pro 10,1 running OS X 10.8.3
(in storage) Forgot the name, probably bhtooefr-ibook, PowerBook 6,5 (iBook G4), running OS X 10.5.8, although barely
The FreeBSD machine:
uncannyvalley, Dell CS24-SC (a weird Core 2-era 1U dual socket whitebox server that Dell badged as their own, presumably for some major customer) running FreeBSD 9.1 (just installed this morning, will be replacing bhtooefr-server)
The Solaris machines:
(in storage) leydenjar, RDI PowerLite 50 running Solaris 2.5.1
(in storage) brescia, SunBlade 2500 running... OpenSolaris b134? Been a long time since I booted that machine.
In any case, I use Windows pretty much exclusively at work, but thankfully I don't have to touch Win8 yet.

That's...incredibly stupid of them. Why call it "Windows 7" if it's really "Windows 6.1"? Thanks, MarketingSoft.
Method of Madness:
Because it was the 7th Windows (I don't think 2000 counts, but I'm not entirely sure why).
Bluesummers:
Was it the seventh Windows? I'm not quite sure...If we go by Wikipedia's records, it should really be "Windows 17"...
This, of course, counts Versions 1.0, 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, 3.1, 3.1NT, 3.5NT, 3.51NT, 4.0NT, 95, 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, and 8. Most people aren't going to count all of those, but still....it's confusing.
Method of Madness:
3.1, 95, 98, ME, XP, Vista, 7, 8 (which is why I praised the odds and don't care for the evens (from 98 on, at least).
