What OS People Use

Hey guys, this is Matt. Kids, and one, this is going to be a follow-up video on our video, "What OS do you use?" Um, because people just decided, um, to comment on our "What OS do you use" video because I said comment, and a bunch of people commented.

Originally, the video was because I was bored and kind of out of ideas. I'm not out of ideas anymore, but I just decided, hey, why not make this video? I can do a few effects or whatever, so I made the video and I was actually interested in what people said because Windows has so much of the market share. But since our username is Mackinson Award, and we mostly show Mac stuff, we actually had more Mac viewers than Windows viewers, or at least of the people who replied.

So here's the um, pie chart overall what people use. And as you can see, um, for um, Mac, you got a 46 up there. For Windows, you got 41, looks like, okay. And um, for Linux, you got 10, and um, for Solaris, you got four. Four percent, yep.

Um, and of those Windows users, you got exactly um, 27, 26 uh, Windows users. 19 of those were Windows Vista and 56 were um, XP. Now you might be wondering, um, why exactly so many people, more than half of the people who use Windows who watch our videos, um, why would so many of those people be using a version of Windows that's six years old? Now, because it's actually, it was at one point better than Vista. It still has a few problems, but they got fixed with a service pack.

Now bigger than Vista as well is Windows 7, because a lot of our subscribers have VMware, and the only free version of Windows they could get that they could run was Windows 7. Not to mention, Windows 7 is pretty cool.

And of the, we got 10 of our viewers who were Linux users, that's actually eight people who use Linux. Um, here's what we got for Linux. Um, I don't know how to pronounce that, Mandriva, Geno, Genome, I've certainly heard of it before, got uh, 13 over there. Um, uh, 63 of those people got Ubuntu, and everyone else, the other people were 25.

And um, I use Mac OS 10.5.6 Leopard. When Snow Leopard comes out, I'm getting it the first day it comes out. I have Ubuntu 8.10 on my MacBook Pro installed using Refits. It's a tri-boot. I have Windows also, it's a tri-boot, so I have Windows as well.

I have a desktop that has Windows XP along with my laptop; it's also Windows XP, and it has several different versions of Ubuntu. I have VirtualBox on my desktop running Open Solaris. Um, so that's that.

John uses Mac Leopard as his main OS; he's his PC for gaming because he's kind of into gaming. He uses Linux once in a while just to mess around with it. He's a VirtualBox guy, VMware, you know, he has VMware. He paid the uh, money for it, so he uses it instead of VirtualBox.

Um, so that's um, our video was uh, our in information about our results. Um, if this is a little inaccurate compared to what our comments were, because we got a few video responses that were removed, and um, personal messages. I've also gone around and asked some people, um, who I know subscribed to us but haven't really watched any of our videos, um, and I know I added my parents to the list, John's parents, a few other people that I just know.

But so that is um, the list that the results. So it's actually pretty interesting. So uh, thanks for watching Mac Heads 101. Um, it's interesting to see though, that we have so many subscribers; almost, um, well, 41 of our subscribers almost as many PCs as Macs. We got 32 PCs and like 37 Macs, I think it was.

But um, yeah, these results actually showed us that we should do a little more stuff for PC now. A lot of those PCs were on Boot Camp or on VMware, so, but a few of them were people with plain old computers that ran Windows as their main OS.

That's a video on what OS our subscribers use. I guess not so many use Linux, so that's kind of disappointing. But um, thanks for watching, goodbye.
