windows or mac?

Simple: which OS(s) do you use? note that windows and mac are NOT mutually exclusive...you can run both on an intel machine now (like me!)

OTHER option? Gee, I thought I covered the bases pretty well...which OS are you looking for?

Also, I'm suprised that somebody is running Free BSD, I just threw that in for good measure.

So, the ratio in the open world is 95% windows, 5% mac, I think. So far, the unicyclists are like 75% win, 25% mac. Odd.

Please, I can't be the only one here who has written his own OS, right?

And not only that.
cvsup3.nl.freebsd.org is in the same rack as most of the unicycle.net servers. Except 1 Linux box, and some boxes for windows media, they now all are FreeBSD (after I dropped the too costly xserve's for quicktime streaming). Oh, and a pretty inactive OpenBSD box.
I like the clean and well-organized structure of both, as well the well documented famous handbook.

I cheated, I voted os/2 even though it's not on this computer. I have it on a couple of PS/2s, in my collection, in the basement. version 2.1 and Warp 3

I also have version 1.2 but haven't been able to get it to run on anything.

Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake, and OSX (Or as I like to say, "Osix"). Kind of sad that the open source OS works better in some respects then Apple's (my wireless always drops out in OSX, but not in Linux when running on battery :P Macbook issue).

I'm a conformist, I use windows.

It's actually not so bad if you don't put all of the crap on it that most people do.
