What operating system are you using?

[balder]

Suddenly, I am feeling thankful I went for a Macbook Pro...

It costs about US$:3,000 in Brazil. :sticky_sad:

Yikes! My mid-2012 13" went for $1500...and that was a souped-up version! Stupid world economy...

 

[dwc780]

Windows 7 for general computing, school work, video games, etc. Ubuntu for playing with Android.

 

[Aalo]

Fedora 15, Win 7 (I miss xp), Android 4,1

I too tried win 8, that Hitler didn't even blink.

 

[Kuribo]

iOS 6.1.3. My iPad is my main computing device. I haven't used my family's laptop at all in the four months since it arrived.

 

[LoLz_lava]

On my physical machine I use Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. On my virtual machines I use Kali Linux, TAILS, kodibuntu, cent OS and mint

 

[Mr Allen]

Chrome OS.

It works, and I can use the Internet on it fine, but I want Windows 10 for Unity and streaming Xbox One games.

 

[Judge]

Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

Having studied cloud computing...IMO, using TAILS in anything other than a live environment is somewhat risky, as you never know what behavior the host machine might be imposing on it...assuming you want to use it in the way that it's intended, which is to leave no trace. I quite like the idea myself, though I've yet to find a practical reason to use it. Also, I'm also running Kali Linux in VirtualBox...if nothing else, it's a lot of fun to play around with Just out of curiosity, what hypervisor OS are you using?

Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

I switched to the Professional versions of Windows a number of months ago, and I am never going back. So much more customizable and DEFINITELY more secure if you know what settings to tweak.

Myself, I'm still running Mac OS, and have Windows 10 Pro running in Boot Camp. Boot Camp isn't ideal, but I use Windows Pro in a lot of my studies, and it's more economical than purchasing a separate computer, haha.

That more has to do with Brazil and their horrible tax structure especially on products made outside of Brazil.
Brazil levies a huge tax on product made outside of Brazil that are sold in Brazil.

Brazil is also in a deep recession, which has weakened their currency.

PS4 costs ~$1,800 at the exchange rate due to Brazilian taxes and restrictions
Xbox One costs ~$900 at the exchange rate for the same reason.
Nintendo pulled out of Brazil entirely because of it.
Samsung as the flagship Android phone makers phones cost over $1,500 at the exchange rate in Brazil.

Anyways I updated my Windows 10 to Windows 10 Pro with the anniversary update.

I run all OS's in live form in Virtualbox(although I'm going to set Kali up as my main OS on my laptop) and I use a hosted hypervisor

Cool. My dream is to, sometime in the next few months, build my own server and load Windows Server Hyper-V onto it. At the moment it seems like a daunting project but it's something I've wanted to do for a while. I'd like more experience with a bare-metal hypervisor.

Oh the bare metal sever is good and go for it. It would also be cool to have a server but their a lot of money.

My main system uses Debian GNU/Linux on the testing distribution with XFCE 4.12 as desktop environment.
And the game and special software computer i took advantage of the free windows 10 upgrade.
(non genuine Windows 7 == genuine Windows 10)

It was the only way i could get a legal version of Windows without giving Microsoft money.
I will eventually setup a external firewall on the machine to whitelist websites i trust.

Oh yeah I guess and yeah I suggest running a good firewall and a VPN like ipvanish

Please do not use Pirated software, it makes guys like me who buy stuff LEGALLY end up having to pay more due to the money MS loses from Piracy.
