    There are actually a lot of alternative OSes out there, but I guess most of them have limited full-time users. Take a look at http://pcplus.techradar.com/node/3175 for a few examples. A very interesting project is also Menuet OS, a graphical OS that fits in a floppy.

    Well it appears that Microsoft, as it does in the real world, is doing it here and that is something called "dominating"! 21 votes for Microsoft, doesn't surprise me. 5 votes so far for Apple, I was wondering if Apple was ever going to show up, guess it did. And 8 votes for Linux based systems, I guess that number would be on par with a real world scenario.

    To all who have participated, "thank you"! To all who haven't, there's still plenty of time to take a couple seconds and slide in your vote.

    I just wanted to pop in here and say that it doesn't take a real smart cookie to know that Microsoft dominated this poll.

    So far......

    Microsoft - 24 votes, taking 92.31% of the poll!
    Linux - 8 votes, taking 30.77% of the poll!
    Apple - 5 votes, taking 19.23% of the poll!

    And one vote for "other"!

    I just wanted to thank everyone who choose to participate in this poll, I will now consider this poll closed. Any stragglers who wish the chime in and vote can do so, but at this point I really don't see the need.
