    Re: OS at work

    XP Pro at work, but I make a point to use Openoffice, Gimp, Firefox and whatever open source programs I can instead of MS Office or IE, etc.

    I've got Ubuntu installed on my desktop at work with XP Pro running in VMware for the couple programs I'm not allowed to get running in WINE.
    Ubuntu? Ibuntu.

    Win 2000 here, although most of our aps are running off the servers, so the OS is just window-dressing really.

    There are rumblings about migrating to XP, which would be nice as XP actually manages to do helpful little things like unmounting my flash drive reliably.

    Re: OS at work

    If you count school as work then all the machines (even the server) are loaded with Winblow$, and to top it off what makes it even scarier one of the math teachers in my school is a Micro$oft Certified Professional (I saw the certificate in his classroom)...

    Ahh, theres lots of stuff that can happen at private schools such as mine.

    Ubuntu.

    But then again, I am self employed and have full say over what goes on the computer.
    Explaining the Internet to someone who's never been online, is like explaining the Magna Carta to your cat.

    Why is having the Microsoft Certified Professional certification scary? I have mine - definitely makes me more attractive to potential employers.

    Re: OS at work

    There is nothing wrong with windows certs. You definately need them if you plan on working in the IT field. I don't have mine but i will probably need them when i try and find a new job. I split my time with ubuntu and XP. Slowly transitioning over to ubuntu, there are still some apps that don't work in linux like they do on XP. Novell's console one being one of them. (missing too many features present on XP).
