DOS and WorldWideWeb. It's a sweet set up, it has 3 colors! Black's a color, right?

@linkage89: Clearly you didn't see the twist. He wants to know what operating system you use. ENTIRELY different. Kind of like my car is entirely different when I park it in a different spot.

Laptop with XP, that's what came with it and I left it alone. XP was/is a decent OS, IMO.
Desktop with Ubuntu Linux. It's clean, airy and works great. Very easy to cross over to from MS products if one was so inclined.
Another desktop with Win7. I use some graphics programs that only play well with Windows.

All systems have Firefox 5.0 as a browser. No problems with any sites.

@capguncowboy: That old greenish monochrome is great too.

mostly i'm at work, and I use XP with FireFox 3 AND Opera AND IE7 (webapp compatibility...argh).
At home, I'm on Win7 and FF5 / WinFLP* and FF3.

*Windows for Legacy PCs - simply awesome for netbooks.

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Chrome.

But if you asked me last week, I would have been using Firefox.

I've been having issues with all Woot related sites for the past day or so.

Vista 64bit with IE9/FF5/Chrome. I have the WIN7 upgrade disk but haven't had the nerve to do it yet. :-)

Ubuntu and Chrome.

Went from two Win 7/Chrome boxes down to two Ubuntu/Chrome this past month.

FF on Ubuntu feels like scrubbing your eyes with the backside of a toad. It just doesn't seem like they put too much thought or energy into making it work like it should.

Vista Home Premium x64 and Chrome

Vista hasn't been a problem at all, after I got used to the changes.

@perlgoodies: Went down to Ubuntu? You just found yourself Windows Service Pack "L"

[...where "L" = Linux]

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
