Mac vs Windows vs Linux vs Other
October 18, 2009 at 7:09 am
Ok, so inspired by this thread, here is a poll on which OS you prefer (you can choose multiple answers). To save room, I've classed the Operating Systems by their general name rather than versions, so 'Windows' refers to all Windows releases, 'GNU/Linux' refers to all distributions of GNU/Linux, etc.

What IS solaris? Tongue
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Its another UNIX derived OS by Sun Micro-systems. I believe it targets x86 and alpha hardware architectures. Usability wise, it's very similar to Linux as Sun have ported a lot of Linux apps to their system, such as the X server and the gnome desktop environment.

I think Adrian had a geek moment when he made the list - it should've been Mac/OS; Windows or Unix/Linux
