: Poll-Windows or Macintosh or something else?
: Syates December 02, 2007, 12:55:25 AM

I am using windows still-don't know but perhaps I take the plunge to change to Macintosh when I upgrade my desktop computer, SY

I'm a right-click kind of guy.  As much as I hate Microsoft products I see no benefit to using a Mac (please don't take offense Mac users, I'm not trying to start a fight).  While there are certain advantages of each system, Adobe programs have the exact same functions on both computers so no advantages there.  Mine came with a mouse with more than one button!

using windows for more than 100 years now, :)
so it is impossible for me to change the OS from now on unless Mac gives a new uploading bonus to micro stock photographers :P

A number of the graphics programs I use are Windows only, so no macs round here!

I grew up with the windows operating system  :-*
If money wasn't an issue, I'd probably buy an iMac just for the heck of it, beautiful piece of work

But otherwise, for my every day use as well as programming and CAD, windows is the way

I have used both... I like windows better.  I like to be able to see under the hood... and I find many of the function like throwing files in the trash disturbing.  I have not used the latest versions of the Mac OS much.

I like Linux and think it is ready now for professional graphics. The only thing you should be aware is how to overcome its limitations (which is really not a big issue when you know exactly what result do you need). In fact, it lacks some useful features, but the situation improves steadily.

Actually I am really astonished by the outcome of this poll. You hear all time time that "all the creative people use a Mac" and here we are using Windows. SY
