I had no intention of clicking OSX (or anything for that matter), even though I'm a pretty big Mac/OSX fan, since, after all, they're asking what we "are running" on the Eee, not what we "want to run", but after reading your smug little comment, I went ahead and did the ol' click-a-roo. Just to spite you.

That was pretty unnecessary considering Alex Padilla asked what people would run and i am a big fan but im not going to click OS X just because i am a fanboy. Since you are obviously saying that OS X users are proud of their operating system because it is obviously a lot better than what you are using because you are just mad that the operating system you use sucks and no one has any pride in it.]]>Dec 6th 2007 8:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/05/poll-what-os-are-you-running-on-your-eee/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/05/poll-what-os-are-you-running-on-your-eee/
I used OSX on an iBook for a while, easy to get used to, but terrible. I hated trying to use it, not to mention the community i went to for support wasnt exactly nurturing whenever i had little quirks i needed a bit of help with.

Go to a PC forum and ask for help (not a BAD one. ) and you get a bunch of different responses, any of which might fix your problem, so test them all.

Go to an Apple related forum (again, not a BAD one. infact, same place as the PC one for me. ) and ask for help, you get a bunch of things saying "Put your serial number in the site, itll tell you your iBook is dead" "yea the guy above is right" "yea wha the guy two guys above me said" ... USELESS. because all it took was a fucking reformat. My OSX 10.3.10 (i think... 10.3.something) installation was corrupted due to something my sister did or didnt do properly, and a REFORMAT fixed it. Go mactards!

If you want the mac based community to grow, you need to stop being elitist pricks, reach out and HELP the community by learning what IS wrong with OSX and how to fix it, because theres a hell of a lot more WRONG with it than right. it only runs on a very limited set of hardware for fucks sake! Windows has to run on everything, and my iBook crashed more in 2 months than my desktop has over coming up on 3 YEARS. (2 weeks to go. )]]>Dec 6th 2007 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/05/poll-what-os-are-you-running-on-your-eee/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/05/poll-what-os-are-you-running-on-your-eee/

It's the same as running a Windows server with Windows computers, or Linux servers with Linux computers. Less headaches, etc.

Of course, if you're into it, pretty much every Apple server offering has a freeware alternative for Linux, but that's a different story.]]>Dec 6th 2007 12:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/05/poll-what-os-are-you-running-on-your-eee/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/05/poll-what-os-are-you-running-on-your-eee/
Cause everyone knows you gots to have big iron racks for everything, including departmental servers...

You mean a mere fraction of those Fortune 500 companies, I would love to see numbers to actually see how many F500 companies really do run XServe and on top of that, which of those companies actually use XServe for their primary servers. I doubt many.

The Xserve is a low to possibly low-mid end server. When rack space is at a primium, a server like a XServe just isn't going to cut it. Like I said, it simply can't keep pace with what most companies need or expect out of a server taking up rack space.

We many only have 2,500 (soon 3,000 with the two new facilities opening) computers, but we are approaching 500 production servers. We have about 50 or so Macs and we do no run any XServes, we have no need for it. We also have been working in switching production servers over to our virtual infrastructure, which the XServe couldn't even dream of touching the beats that we have running that.

So I will say it again, a real IT shop isn't going to use the Xserve because it is a under power server compared to what is out there. The only shops that would even think about using it is Mac shops and it isn't absolutely need then.]]>Dec 6th 2007 8:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/05/poll-what-os-are-you-running-on-your-eee/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/05/poll-what-os-are-you-running-on-your-eee/

Screw them. If you bought a copy of OSX, you should be able to run it on whatever the heck you please, and they shouldn't be allowed to try to stop you! More power to you!

That said, Linux is better, so I wouldn't bother. The idiots at Apple missed their chance to dominate the OS market. Oh well.]]>Dec 5th 2007 9:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/05/poll-what-os-are-you-running-on-your-eee/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/05/poll-what-os-are-you-running-on-your-eee/

Well, it ACTUALLY turns out that a lot of people are waiting for the 10 inch one.
