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.
I think you should read this: Politics
Where’s the vote for Windows/Mac/Linux/Something else (Nader) ??
:ahh:
My AIX/Mickey Mouse vote shall go un-noticed 
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. 
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?
I thought the poll would hav etoo many options if I did that. Should I make another one with 3 options for each 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.
Well, I also use Linux, but I saw the poll on Windows, so I voted that. 
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.

ahahahahhaahhahahahahahahahaaaa!!! that is one of the awesomests posts ever!! 
That is (what do you mean no offense? How can someone take no offense to being called stupid?) one of the meanest and not thoughtful posts, ever. There is undoubtably a correlation between OS’s used and what one believes in. Take Macs. A large number of Mac users use them for artistic type stuff, and a huge majority of art people are liberal. I have absolutely no idea how you can claim there is no relationship, but if there was, it would be so huge that every Windows user is republican.

Look at the poll and look at what you said. There are many more Windows users that say they are going to vote for Kerry than Windows users who say they are going to vote for President Bush.
There is no relation, this is a dumb poll.
Lol, I guess you forgot your original post… I was asking why you thought that. I absolutely do not agree. Let me restate it: I have absolutely no idea how you can claim something like, “there is no relationship, but if there was, it would be so huge that every Windows user is republican.” That’s ridiculous…
Even if there was no relation, just determining that is interesting enough to warrant a poll.
Hey guys, much as squabbling is cool for some people, I don’t think it’s too fun to watch a battle for the majority. May we leave it at this?
The thread was started to determine interest and opinion, not a battle or debate. It’s your operating system. I apologize for not being a full on OS geek, but I have no emotional bond with my OS. If there was a correlation, it could float any way. You’d be surprised, or maybe you actually wouldn’t. Hypothetically speaking, if it was to correlate, what would be the results thereof. ^^ Would all the liberal people switch to Macs and Linux and all that jazz? Whatever and whatnot. Discuss. ^^ Be nice. Now. Hugs for all.
Peace,
