Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Professional ............ I would like to run android on my LG Fathom, but no forum has any info as to how.....

Seriously , Help!!!
 
i've been to lazy to find a version of windows 7 to put on my laptop and i've also been to lazy to configure it to dual boot ubuntu... i really should stop being lazy, i hate vista...
 
Netbook: Ubuntu netbook remix, version escapes me atm
Gaming PC: Vista 64bit
Phone: Android 2.1 (gief 2.2 on desire now!)

loving ubuntu on my netbook, its just perfect for a work/net browsing machine, feels like a million times faster than fking windows 7 starter!
 
i,ve used various os on my pc and laptop even run snow leopard on my windows laptop , at the moment dual booting vista and xp . ( vista for internet xp for everything else ) .i am a fan of ubuntu as well and have used that on my laptop again dual booting .
 
Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit on my Custom Built Desktop
Windows XP Home 32 Bit on my Crappy Laptop haha
 
On my Dell XPS M1530 laptop, I am running multiple OSs including Windows 7 Ultimate, Ubuntu 10, and for when I am really feeling frisky, Backtrack 4.
 
Running OSX 10.6.4 and dual booting Win 7 Ultimate on Boot Camp. Tried the latest version of Ubuntu but it would fail to load from the disc and installing it another partition would just be dumb. It was great on my PC way back when.

Wow, this thread has loads of people using Linux - I'm very impressed (Linux is definitely for the discerning user, Windows is for the masses ;)). Some are even brave enough to stick with Windows Vista...

Here's what I use:

At work we got Windows Server 2003 on my development machine, plus various flavours of Windows on VM's scattered around.

At home I use
- CentOS on my email/web/domain server
- Fedora 13 on my desktop machine, my mini notebook and my wife's mini notebook
- Fedora 12 on the media centre

I have some Windows XP partitions on the desktops too, but they never get used.

I've been surprised by the number of Linux users too. Most "studies" I've seen put the number of Linux users in the <5% range, but here it is clearly well north of 30%.

It's nice to see Linux being so popular for once, but then again you have to realize that only a certain kind of person comes to an mobile OS forum, then a small percentage of that group leave their specific phone portion to talk about Computer Os's. So that small percentage of an already small group has a higher chance of knowing what Linux is and actually wanting to use any kind of Nix distro.

Windows 7 :) This OS is really solid and visually very pleasing. My favorite feature: Making pages instantly become half the screen. It's very helpful for school.

For sure, since I do all my school online, it really helps trying to read a eBook and take notes.

I run Windows 7, I use VMware to run Mac OSx Snow Leopard, Ubutnu and Windows XP.
 
I run Snow Leopard on my I mac; XP on an older Dell 700m, and Linux Mint on my Netbook. I keep XP on the 700m only because I occasionally need to access something that only XP windows does. As you can imagine, this computer collects ever increasing amounts of dust, so I plan on reviving it by upgrading some hardware and dual booting some linux distro. Not sure which one it will be yet, but I would not be against trying something other than mint, just for variety's sake. I don't plan on installing any netbook or cloud specific distros though.
 
How do you like Snow Leopard so far? I have mine on my AMD machine so I'm not getting the real experience of it, but I'd like to know if it's really any different on my machine versus a real mac.
