PS Survey

[miadon]

Also what about "Other *nix" option eg "Sun Solaris"

[willelmo]

Would anyone be running PS on Windows Server 2003 or Vista?

I wonder

I could test Vista as I have public beta on extra hard drive, maybe would be interesting to see if there is any issues.

[Karyuu]

A few folks have tried Vista - and there was a BugTracker entry about it here. Not so good.

[tssthorn]

Actaully I am running Vista and PS works fine actaully. I am not even using supported drivers for my ati graphics card as well. Though that may be the problem, the new vista drivers may have somthing to do with it and since I have an ati 9250 which does not have a vista driver im using the old ones and as I said PS works fine.

What's the point to include OS sub-versions or OS on where PS don't work?

Notice thus questions may also have pervese effect, if an OS is less used to play, it may receive a lower support, then have still less players (as for example, some web site tell they don't support Firefox because 99% of their visitors use IE)

* Kerol quotes himself

- what OS'es (if linux what distro) are being used majorly
- if one isn't playing on his favorite OS, what OS would they like be able to play PS on?

Why do you make it so complicated?
My suggestion:

On what OS are you playing?
[] Linux
[] Windows
[] OS X
[] don't know

If you use Linux, what distro?
[] Gentoo
[] SUSE
[] ...

If you use Windows
[] Windows 98 and alike
[] Windows 2000 and alike

If the OS is not listed that you are using, please enter it here
[              ]

Is the OS you are playing on your favorite OS?
[] yes
[] no

If not, on what system would you like to play most?
[                ]

I think I'm studying the wrong subject 

Edit: And sure, I'd like to test out the survey, just pm me

Kerol: 
The "Is the OS you are playing on your favorite OS?" and "If not, on what system would you like to play most?" is allready there as you suggestet it earlier.
Yes after all I read here I will add a "If the OS is not listed that you are using, please enter it here" and stick with the main which you listed.
But for the Windows section I will make it somewhat more complex than your suggestion, cause I doubt that everyone knows what his actual windows is like (98 or 2000) so I will have the following
98, Me, XP, 2000, Other (enter which one)

Thanks everyone for the input!

EDIT: Sorry or the delay, but my holidays in berlin were longer than I thought and I had less time there for the project than planned... but be sure its not dead.... big fat sorry! But now I am back again...

[Kerol]

Hey Alfonso, how is that project running?
It would be cool to have the survey soon, especially now, after the release. It would also be nice to have a section "what would you like most to have in PS?" longterm and "what should be the focus for the next release?" shortterm in there, if possible.
The survey would certainly also help promoting PS, for instance if you link it on Xillix' page mentioned here.

Please hear my prayers!

Well, well...
I ended my involvement with PS about a year ago, I left all PS related projects behind me cause I was disappointed with it (no detaills here this is not the post to write about it ;-) ).
Now a week ago I rejoined the german PS community and even started playing again.
So as I like to commit myself to projects alltogether, I want to reactivate this survey.
Most of the stuff I created is still on my computer, so I guess it could be ready at the end of this month.
I wasn't active here in the last year at all, so if there allready is such a survey, let me know :-)

And please excuse my sudden "departure" without any notice...

[Kerol]

Hi Alfonso, wibble

There was nothing similar as to what you've worked on in the past year, so you surely are welcome to resume your work.

[Alfonso Knaf]

This project is jinxed, or at least I am as for the survey.
There is always this last step I can't take, I don't know why but I always delay this (and only this) project.
So I'm putting this on hold, maybe if it isn't on my active-list I will be able to finish it someday...
I'm terribly sorry!
