Some people have an OS that came with their PC, or they have the OS they could afford. Which doesn't mean that its the one they prefer to have. So which OS do you prefer to have, if not already have.

Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005

It might have come with my TPC, but I can't find a better OS for me.

it seems that your "list" is incomplete. However, WinXP TPCE 2005 is based on Windows XP Professional. Ill just wait until a mod adds it to vote.

I also don't understand why "vista" is on there. it hasn't reached RTM or even beta 1.

STV

XP Home.

Of course, it was part of a "recovery disk", so a whole slew of programs gets installed every time I need to format. :no:

I'm a long time Windows user but decided to get an iMac G5 (I couldn't help it, all it took was one look at it) and now I have a hard time getting around Windows. Mac OS X is my OS of choice, Windows XP is still plenty good though and I wouldn't use anything else for the PC.

I use the the Mac OS X.4 and XP (Home) copies that came with my computers. I thought about getting a copy of Windows XP Pro but when I thought about it I really need any of it's extra functionally.

I would prefer a good distribution of Linux (Arch Linux, Slackware). But the poll seems to miss a lot of options, including *BSD and Solaris.

Lessee... This has only been done three times since June:

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=319745

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=322819

(four if you count this poll)

This is the question that loves to get asked. :p

Linux for me, even though I had to pay Microsoft to get the computer I wanted.

The OS I'd prefer to have doesn't exist, if you want to get technical. But, choosing from a list there I'd have to say Windows XP Pro, and then Vista when it is actually released.

True I think this has been done several times before, but the previous polls were were not as expansive in the OS preference. There were only 2-3 to choose from.
