    Yep.

    I think it's still being used quite a bit, thought it doesn't seem to show up here that way. It was the MOST stable version of Windows released at the time and I've seen no reason to upgrade. I've had my copy ever since it first came out and never once have I seen the dreaded BSOD.

    That's good - wish I could change my vote. It sure looks odd now!

    I also didn't notice that this is multiple choices poll, so I didn't put Ubuntu.

    Well, I'm more in XP anyway.

    Since they've gone open source, I'm sure there are more installations around, but it's still small. At least that's the impression I have.

    Oh, god. Anything but Mac. All this endless propaganda about how great it is, and how streamlined the "Mac experience" is. Of course it's streamlined: all the OS 9 users have been institutionally abandoned. This is akin to the 'streamlining' of Inuit society by pushing the elderly out to sea on ice floes.

    Nah, 'Other' would be running OpenVMS under the CharonVAX emulator (which I intend to do for shits and giggles when I resurrect one of my old PCs).

    I'm sure there are old twitchers like me, running older OS's too!
