lhamil64 In Runtime Messages 398 Apr 18, 2011 #21 I use Windows primarily. I do have Ubuntu in a dual boot (on a few computers) but don't really use it much. There just isn't enough compatibility and it isn't quite as polished as I would like.

I normally use VMWare for Virtualization, can't say I've ever used virtual Box. How do you find the two compare? Windows is a must if you are into gaming. Click to expand... True, but the pts side is that with windows 8 microsoft is starting to step away from .NET and silverlight to move towards more open frameworks. =D

Kage Golden Master Messages 13,873 Jun 10, 2011 #29 I run Windows XP at the moment, and Windows 7 on the other hard drive, I'm still to set up. Never touched Linux, etc. I've seen a guy using it, and he has to enter the prompt a lot to type random commands. Didn't seem simple to me at all!
