What OS are you running?
 

Since we were discussing this question in the CoD system requirements thread...

-Removed because the OP is polite and I dont want to alter the sample :)

W7 64 ftw!

Win 7 64

Windows 3.11 "Windows for Workgroups". Best OS Microsoft ever made next to Windows ME.

Windows ME? Really? That thing gives me nightmares :rolleyes:

Im wondering since I still have XP with SP2 and specs say SP3 if maybe its still gonna play because maybe they just said SP3 because thats the latest. Any ideas??

ME was something of a Jekyll-Hyde OS. On some systems, it was a very nice and stable OS. On others, it was a nightmare.

I had ME on an old Sony laptop, and it was rock solid. Never had an issue with it at all.

OH...Win 7 Professional x64 here.

Ubuntu 10.10

And I have a small partition for windows thats used for IL2 almost exclusively. Even if it works okayish on ubuntu, except for no perfect water and no force feedback joystick.

Crossing my finger CoD will run okay on linux so I can finally delete windows entirely, but Im not holding my breath for that, especially if it uses DX10 :(

S!

Windows 7 64-bit. Would run Linux if it would run my games fully.

Wow, 68% win7, thats actually higher then I expected. Also means all of you need to get dx11 gpus and help me whine, its a tought job for 1 person :-P

I didn't vote because my case is a bit complicated.

I'm running win7 x64 BUT i would probably still be running XP x32 for the majority of applications if a power outage hadn't screwed up the filesystem on the XP partition a few weeks ago.

Nothing against win7, it's actually pretty good and stable as far as i've seen and while some things take a bit longer to load they actually run faster once inside the application.
It was just too much hassle having to reinstall everything from XP to win7 and i didn't have anything that used higher than DX9, so i stuck with XP up till now.

In fact, i still haven't installed anything apart from the bare minimum system and general tools and i'm running IL2 through a shortcut from the XP installation, since it doesn't need any registry keys,etc.

I would have installed CoD under win7 however even if my XP partition was still working.

Currently Vista 32 bit, but I will upgrade to Windows 7 64 Bit in the next months.

Win 7 64 bit here.

Swiss, can you expand your poll to DX 9, 10, 11 card or make another poll with that?

Win7 here as well.

Indeed, one of the worst Win ever released.

finally made transition to W7 x64 from XP SP2 last week. took me a while, but the difference is huge. installing it on a upgraded rig was a song.

What's holding you back to upgrade to SP3? It's been here for a zillion eons!

Personally, I wouldn't want to spend another minute behind an SP2 machine.

Anyway, last september I upgraded to Win7 64 bit after running XP for 8 years. I'm glad I skipped Vista. I still have a two XP installations for emergency on other partitions. I started with Amiga OS 1.3, then Amiga OS 3.1 and MacOS 8.1, switched to Win98 SE and NT 4.0, used Debian and Solaris,Then Windows 2000, then XP and Ubuntu. Uptil now Win7 has proven to be the most stable, versatile and crashproof yet!!!!

Windows XP SP3 will not be supported anymore by microsoft. They are pulling the plug on XP and probably vista.
Can we have a option to say: I have this OS but will be soon "upgrading" which will show how many people intend to change to win7 soon (which seems lto be many people commenting here who doesnt have win7)

Windows 7 Ultimate x64!! I'll never be going back :)

win 7 x64 on my machine.
cheers

Win7 Enterprise x64

Yummy!:grin:

Win 7 Pro at me...

vista 64

WinXP to be replaced by Win7 64 bit when I rebuild my computer :)

Win7 64bit

Win xp all the way:eek:

HAX!! You did not list Vista!

Windows98 Second Edition. No joke. But it's modded, runs faster than WinXP or Win7. I have KernelEx installed, makes XP/Win7 only apps install easily on Win98SE. I also have the "Revolutions Pack" installed, which makes Win98SE recognize up to 4GB RAM easily. I run Opera internet browser.

Windows 7 x64 :)

Currently using XP for my gaming PC but have Win7 64bit OS available to install. What advantage would there be in upgrading given that I would have to add another 4Gb of memory and CoD, Il2, WOP, etc all run happily on XP? If there is an advantage let me know and I will insert the disk and upgrade.

Win 7 64 bit

W7 64bit Home Edition.

Think the results speak for themselves tbh (btw according to Tomshardware windows 7 just sold about 325million (around there) copies as of release!)

Seems the simmer community has slightly over average systems.
(us vs steam)

72% vs 45% W7: +27%
9% vs 24% Vista: -13%

-> DX11 capable systems: 81% vs 69%

47% vs 15% DX11 GPU: +32%

Given the fact some many people here have a DX11 OS, I think it's realistic to guess about 90% of the DX11 cards are also in a DX11 OS, which would result in
-> 42% DX11 users.
That is way over average.

Whats the conclusion now that you got your results?

Vista 64

I would like to have W7 64 but upgrading from XP did cost 140 euro's and soon after W7 arrived. Would again have to fork out 150 euro's. I can't keep up with the arrival speed of new baked OS's. Still i'm quite happy with Vista. Installed once in 2008 and still working fine. Never had that before with any OS, be it Windows or Mac.

edit: or Atari :)

Not much.
Heli is proven to be right, and the fact simmers spend quite a lot more money on their system than average(surpise! lol)

What did you think was my goal?

S!

Simming is expensive and I have shelled out a lot only because of IL-2 and now for CoD. FPS games are not my branch, they are just so repetitive and full of ADHD bunnies :D

Yep they are interesting figures, would just care to say that in 2 days we will have the January survey numbers which might reflect christmas sales. Also steam like said has a "backlog" of older systems from accounts that are not used anymore so I would say this potentially slants the figures towards the lower end. Not surprising though, the market has been pretty stagnant since XP, people are making up for lost time ;)

I just wanted to know the conclusion.And yes we spend a whole lot more than any other gamers.

All my systems run Windows 7 64 bit :)

Win7 Home Premium 64-bit on stationary.
WinXP Home Edition on netbook (Win7 still can't beat the batterylife of XP).

Lies, damned lies, and statistics...

Don't think it proves anything much. The die-hards here are representative only of themselves. If the devs are making decisions on features for the game they'll consider the full range of potential buyers, a lot of whom will be casual Steam-type folks.

Definitely doesn't prove Heli right.

100% agree on this one, that poll is extremely skewed considering the ratio of elitist on this forum. Do it on IGN or some other gaming site instead.

Well you have to consider that the poll was made for us not other gamers.It is representative of the people who most likely will play the game.

Check the steam poll numbers.

The "full range" of buyers isn't that wide.

Most potential buyers will throw this game into the next corner after getting disappointed or depressed when they try the online modus.
When I first flew online, and I only "acquired" IL2 for this reason, I took me almost two hours(!) to get my first kill.
I seriously considered uninstallation at this point.
Most casual gamer think this way.
Targeting the average gamer leads to nothing, you can sell him the game - once - but he will never touch again nor buy any addons or upgrades.
The "core" are the retards you can make money with(I'm one of those jerks too).

QFT, also made me lol :-P

I didnt play Il2 as much as I would of liked since I came to it very late. I bought it because I rememberd playing Microsoft combat flight sim as a kid in the late 90s/early 10's... (sounds weird lol). I loved that, although its probably due to nostalgia rather than game quality (I was in the range of 9/10-12... not sure).

What would have been interesting is to see how many win 7 users are only 32 bit and how many are running x64.
