Default What software do you use?
What kind of software do you use provided by Windows, or do you have a Mac?

7. Just borrowing this laptop at the moment as I'm delaying as long as possible getting 8, it looks absolutely horrible

Might even just wait to get a Mac

Yeah, 8 isn't a good version at all. I hate the way they've replaced the 'Start' button with flying apps and I think they're trying to include a touch screen interface. It'd work on a tablet or smartphone (it does) but certainly not for a PC.

Stuck on XP myself though. Got the laptop in 2008 when people were getting fed up of Vista and putting back older versions, so it automatically came with that setup. Which is fine but at least keep Microsoft Office 2007 over '03.

I've got a Mac, and I use Mountain Lion.

Windows 8 looks kinda cool, but I just cannot go back to Windows again I just no.

Although I kinda wish I hadn't upgraded from Lion really, seemed a bit pointless and a waste of money.

Windows 7.
I have a laptop with w8 on too though and its just a pain in the arse at the moment to use.
As for macs its like having to use a computer wearing mittens they are just computers for children that cant be trusted not to break things. I like to have full access and be able to tweak as i see fit not just what apple allow me to.

edit:Anyone that is stuck with windows 8 try installing classic shell it restores your start button and bypasses the silly app window at startup and sends you straight to your desktop at startup.

Feel so sorry for anyone with Windows 7 or 8.

Especially 8, just some half assed piece of sh*t that Microsoft threw out for a few extra dollars.
