Things actually depend on personal preference.

And a windowed one doesn't maximize when I drag it to the top of the screen. How did Windows users ever live without these features?

IMO this docking feature is complete crap. This is exceptionally apparent when you work with a "not so" high resolution such as 1024x768, in which when you want to move windows to screen edges so to view the contents of several windows at the same time, to make more space you'll usually move them such that parts of them are off-screen, but under default settings the windows automatically maximise themselves when you move them to edges, in an incredibly annoying way. I ended up googling for how to disable it and this feature is now gone for good.

Win 7 on my pro computers (would NOT work otherwise and Win Xp-64 was crappy in my opinion anyhow).

Laptop is on Vista, cause this is what it came with and I don't mind since I beta stuff on this one as well... And I format it once a year so I don't give a *ahem* to what's happening to it...

Personally I prefer Win Xp for gaming.

I've got everything from 7 to a confused hybrid of 95/98 running on various machines. That way, I know I've got something that'll be compatible.

Didn't know about this but I use Alt-Tab religiously so I don't need it anyway. (I loathe having to work on my boss's Mac because he keeps moving windows to the side to see the others behind them. It almost makes me itch watching that.)

Btw, apparently there's something called XP mode for 7, you have to install VirtualPC and get it for free and you can pretty much run anything that doesn't work on 7 natively any longer.

I had a Seven partition on my machine for a while (oh, wait... it's still there) but the XP-mode need 1) a compatible cpu (1 over 2 in intel's) and 2) Won't emulate any graphic card...

Sadly, because the idea was good.

I seem to be in the growing minority of Ubuntu users here.

But, before that, I always used XP. Win7 was pretty nice, but XP was a good balance between "Nice and Simple" and "OMG, EVERYTHING HAS TO LOOK SHINY AND BE COMPLEX".

It was the system I grew up with before I switched to Linux, so I have pretty fond memories of it.

My computer crashed last night, and I reinstall XP Again on the main partition.
Just wondering : Am I the last one who still use and love XP?

What OS do you use the most oftenly?

Win7 but with VMware Workstation with XP for the classic games. Great combi

XP professional is what's on my my PC. Of course I had to pay extra to have it installed instead of windows vista.

I have ubuntu on my laptop, but obviously, since the linux port of the editor doesn't exactly work fully yet, I don't usually use it for AGS.

And I've set the "OMG, EVERYTHING HAS TO LOOK SHINY AND BE COMPLEX" slider in ubuntu to full, which makes it much more so than even Windows 7 (I think)

.

But yeah, home computer is XP.

Also, when I originally saw the title of this thread, I thought Dan was looking for some weird "XP Liberation Font".
