As for smartphones, I'm currently on Windows Phone 7 but would prefer Windows Phone 8.just got the mrs a lumia520, haven't unwrapped it yet as its for birthday next week. Dick smiths $279 I think	plod (107)
1347069	2013-06-26 07:44:00	As for OS choice, osx at home, iOS for iPad, ICS for my phone. And a mix of XP, OSX and Linux at work. And yes the poll needs to be multi choice	plod (107)

As time moved on I found it more and more frustrating to do tasks that seemed to be simple on other OS's. Yes, I'll admit part of that is because I don't know how to do it on OSX but I do on windows however there were some things that were just plain silly IMO. Unfortunately I can't remember exact examples, but I do know I hate the way the control panel/system preferences equivalent is handled in OSX. Actually, I DO remember one thing that annoyed me - When copying files from a dying HDD finder would run into an error. Once it encountered the said I/O error is would cancel the copy (fine) but also delete all the progress it had made in the copy. The problem was with some corrupt files, so I planned to delete/skip what ever files were causing the problem. Unfortunately waiting for 10gb to copy, deleting the file and starting the copy again only for it to fail 10.1gb later was a right PITA. At least with other OS's the progress would be left on the target drive.	The Error Guy (14052)

1347074	2013-06-26 13:47:00	Ah ok. Android and Linux was provided. Was only given one choice to vote but the phone is just an appliance for me. Don't use it nearly enough. I mostly just check FB and my email before powering up my computer. On travel,the GPS. Don't call / text often. More often on Skype lol.	Nomad (952)
1347075	2013-06-26 21:05:00	Tried Linux a few yrs ago. Was OK, but it's not that easy trying to set up some printers using it. Got a smartphone with Android on it here. Havent really used it. I'll have to get a memory card sometime, so I can move programs to it. If I update anything on it atm, it runs out of space. If Apple products weren't so expensive, I may have brought something. I've used one ( a mate's) but that's about it. I've never owned anything Apple (besides an Ipod). Which, I think still works.	Speedy Gonzales (78)

1347077	2013-07-01 04:18:00	It's nice to see Linux in second place, only two votes (so far) behind Windows! :D I use Kubuntu Linux as my main OS on the desktop PC, although I can boot into WinXP on occasion to do the odd thing that just doesn't work (or work as well) in Kubuntu (mostly hardware related). I have an Android phone also. I've never used or owned anything Apple so far. I agree with Speedy regarding printer setup in Linux, it can be a fiddle.	Rod J (451)
