Dear all,
Before designing any software, the developer will have to decide on the supported OS's and other installed software. he may be able to choose the software design so that all or as many operating systems as possible are supported. while the later operating systems/software provide more features, the earlier versions may still have to be supported in view of the suffiecient no of systems in use. in order to have a good trade-off, knowledge of the user's operating system will be helpful.
to get the reasonably fair idea of the population of OS's among the members, this poll is created. all may participate with relevant information.
you may expect to have a few more polls on other system information very soon.
if you have more than one system with different OS's, the more frequently used one or the older version of OS may be selected.
you may also make a post with information which you may feel relevant.
all the best.
