Poll: Which OS do you prefer?

Nov 5th 2008 4:37AM on Engadget

It is not an 'either or' question. Most of us use more than one Operating System and prefer them on specific tasks. We shold have been allowed to choose more than one OS. Otherwise, the poll should be specific to category (entertainment, work, etc). For example,
I personally use linux for work and development while I enjoy Vista x64 at home for gaming and entertainment. Now, linux or windows will loose out one vote. This is the case with many of us here and thus making this poll unfairly tilted to Mac OS.

VIA Nano and Intel's Atom benchmarked head-to-head

Jul 30th 2008 8:58AM on Engadget

Please people cut the crap and see through the FUD of power consumption under load. IMO, power consumption under load is not right criteria. From TFA by pcper:

"For our MP3 encoding test, the VIA Nano processor used a total of 37,323 watt-seconds (Joules) of energy while the Intel Atom processor used 38,290 watt-seconds (Joules) of energy. That is a difference of just 2.5% indicating that even though the Atom processor is slower, it's not that much less efficient than VIA's Nano."

hence in power consumption over a given task, NANO is better and idling with comparable power consumption. IMHO, NANO beats ATOM hands down.

lol talk about getting real. You are wishing for SSD based system under $500. You would be lucky to find a big enough SSD itself for $500.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
