I saw another poll on here about operating system preferences and thought I'd see if it has anything to do with age

I've used windows my whole life (not that my life has been very long lol) so it's just what I'm used to. It's what we had in school and any place I've ever worked has also used windows.

I started using computers before Windows was thought of. LOL (kinda feeling old here)
I would like to try a Mac but I do not see that happing in the near future.

I was around before the age of operating systems. The first I used was 3.11. Before that, it was alot of work in typing. I have played with everyone out there, but Windows is my favorite. It's easy to rewrite programs to my specs.

I, too, have been around since long before Windows or computers were household items. My first job required me to literally "ring-up" customers. The register was an old one with the arm you had to crank. I think that is why I have tinnitus in my ear now. I took typing and shorthand in high school. I didn't get a computer at work, until '92 (and even then it was DOS) and let me tell you it was something for all of us to load up the typewriters and wave good-bye to them!

I've been using Windows ever since I can remember...and that's a really long time!

I have windows fever for long time

Most trojans, viruses, spware, ans maleware are designed for windows and mac. Ubuntu is the best, but it is hard to find some programing for it. It is the fastest, especially on startup.

I had windows my whole life, but I recently moved to mac and I love it. There is definitely an adjustment period when learning to use mac though. In the beginning I missed windows, but now I love my mac.

I've always used Windows. I think Macs are pretty and function well, but I feel like they're made so much for beginners that I actually get more confused. Plus, when they do decide to go wrong I don't know how to fix them.

I know Windows WAY better, and feel comfortable with them. A MAC, they're gorgeous and my older sister works for Apple and vouches for them, but ehh, not for me.

The only drawback I've ever found with the mac was access to certain webpages. Other than that, it's much more user-friendly.

I had a Mac that I loved but sadly had to get rid of for work (needed to upgrade but couldn't afford a new Mac, gosh they're pricey) and now I run Linux. I like it just as much as my Mac - or maybe that it's that I just really dislike Windows

Apple is evil.

I grew up on Windows at school but Apple at home. I had a Dell of my own for 8 years, but just replaced it with an Apple and absolutely loving the Apple. Will never go back to a PC.

My job is computer related, so I've used a variety of operating systems, including some really old like IBM OS/2 or relatively rare such as BSD family. Linux (specifically openSuSE) is operating system of my choice for now. Sometimes I have to use Windows, but I'm OK with it and I don't consider myself a fan of any operating system. I just choose the one that is more efficient considering my current tasks.

I'm 26 and I've only every used Windows.

Linux > OS X > Windows for me.

I use Windows on my main laptop, but I also use an old IBM laptop running Puppy Linux that works for light stuff. It's neat, but wine is a pain and I like the sleekness of Windows. In the past I've also used other Linux variants and some weird spin-off of Ubuntu.

I've always used Windows but I also have a free Linux OS called Jolicloud installed that I've tried acclimating myself to... Windows is just so prevalent that it's easiest.
04/15/2012
I'm 27 and have used Windows my whole life. I like it a lot. I haven't used the other operating systems though...so I cannot compare them.

i used a mac at school and loved it but had windows pretty much my whole life cause apple is so expensive. now i have a macbook and so happy but now i could never go back windows is garbage. i love macs. runs so smoothly and i never have any problems

I use Windows because I grew up using Windows, but I want to try Linux next.

I use windows and I am 35. I grew up using windows and would not have it any other way.

I never used a computer until middle school, and that was an Apple IIe. It was a good ten or twelve years later before I had a computer for personal use (though I did use the computer labs a bit in my later years of college - before that, I had to rely on typewriters for research papers). I have used Windows ever since. Never tried anything else, but I am not opposed to it.

Mac user in the under 25 crowd. My dad is a Mac fan, he encouraged me early on when I got my first laptop for college.

Been using windows for the last 15 years and don't see myself going to Macs.

I use both, have for almost 20 years. Always preferred Windows. Excited about Win8
