Wanted to see what fellow GFY webmasters use as their operating system.

I just installed Windows 8.1 and i'm not too happy about it.

You forgot XP. Support officially ceases in April, I think. Any 0-day exploit after that is not going to be patched.

I think that win 8 just confirms old formula for ms windows - skip every second version... which was true after 2000, win 2000 was excellent, win me was shit, win xp ok, win vista shyte, win 7 ok, win 8 - garbage? the same for before versions, I'm using that product from 3.10 I think. fuck, I'm just 3 versions younger than Bill Gates and around 75039821 versions less rich then him...

JockoHomo · 01-22-2014, 05:34 PM

Yes, most people would NOT be using it except that it is pre-installed on most new computers. Certainly the majority did not "upgrade" to 8.

Oh and one more thing, just because they give something a higher number in the title doesn't mean it is it better. It just means it is newer and that is not always the same thing at all...

Just to be pedantic Mac OS is actually OS X.

We run Windows 7 using Parallels on some of our Macs.

Zuzana Designs · 01-22-2014, 06:59 PM

We use every operating system in the list on different machines but prefer OS X (Mac OS) for design and stability. Seems we're rebooting windows machines almost every other day compared to weeks of uptime with our macs.

Zeiss · 01-22-2014, 07:52 PM

Weird, thought Linux is just the kernel...

Change it to GNU/Linux pls

Rochard · 01-22-2014, 07:58 PM

Win7. It's pretty good, no issues. I don't spend much time worrying about operating systems or trying to tweak them - just open it up out of the box and run with it.

tweaking your OS is so 1997.

Agreed.

It's my understanding that most everyone who has actually read up on the matter "downgrades" to 7 when purchasing a new PC however.

So, you are saying you would even repeatedly do something machines can do for you after properly configured? How boring that must be...

Scott McD · 01-23-2014, 03:39 AM

Windows 7.

Fuck Windows 8...

inabon · 01-23-2014, 04:04 AM

windows 8.1 very happy with it. just a matter of learning it and getting used to it. It just makes you use your keyboard a little more. the windows icon gets lots of use with it

give it some time be patient at first i hated it then i said ok forget 7 learn this and it is pretty good.

seeandsee · 01-23-2014, 04:06 AM

evy97 · 01-23-2014, 04:51 AM

Windows 8.1, touch screen FTW

anexsia · 01-23-2014, 08:08 AM

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit on my gaming/some work desktop and Debian/Arch dual boot on my other work computer. I want to move to Windows 8.1 but I don't know if all my games will work on it (I own 786 games on Steam, lots on Origin, uPlay, Desura, GOG, etc.. and a pretty large boxed collection from the early 90's until recently!).

I use Stardock's Fences program on my Windows 7 desktop and I love how well I can organize all my shortcuts with it.

rockeru · 01-23-2014, 01:01 PM

Windows 7 on both my computers, windows 8 is a failure.
