Kerry/Bush by OS
 

I was just wondering, is there a direct link between the os that someone uses and the candidate they choose? Please take this poll, the results may be interesting.

I need to explain my answer...

I run Windows XP on the desktop and my file server runs Linux. I am very proficient in the *NIX command line. Unfortunately, the hassles of running Windows programs on Linux, in addition to the dearth of games and software leads me to not fully adopt Linux. When I say dearth of applications I mean the programs that I need for school, such as PSpice... I voted Windows and Kerry.

To submit a hypothesis to your question, I wouldn't think that there would be a link between who a person chooses to be prez and the OS they use. Of course, I could be wrong.

Windows, especially when you reformat the HD and reload the OS, and Kerry. That's my choice.

Kerry OSX most of the time (other times it's Windows 2000)

I was just thinking that maybe open source people might choose a liberal candidate or something like that.

While that Jargon entry is fairly relevant, I'm pretty sure ESR means "Communism" intead of "socialism." Being as there're many thriving socialist states in the world, one would be hard pressed to say that it's collapsed. One could even hold an argument against the thought that Communism has collapsed in that China's doing so well that American companies want their products made there. :p

At this point, Kerry is leading on windows and mac, but is losing 1-0 on Linux. Maybe I was wrong...

Where is the Other(Windows) and Other(MAc) and Other(Linux) and Other(Other) catagory?

Re: Kerry/Bush by OS
 

I thought the poll would hav etoo many options if I did that. Should I make another one with 3 options for each os?

Re: Kerry/Bush by OS
 

Personally I think Mac users tend to be more liberal because they arnt afraid of whats different. but thats just me. By the way I use OS X and I vote Kerry.

Re: Kerry/Bush by OS
 

Well, I also use Linux, but I saw the poll on Windows, so I voted that. :D

Re: Kerry/Bush by OS
 

You've got to be kidding me...

This is (no offense) possibly one of the dumbest threads ever.

If there was a correlation between OS's used and who you voted for, every single Windows user would be voting republican.

Obviously this isn't the case as you can see by the poll.

But hey, this thread was good for a 30 second laugh or so.
