Before I get into this week’s question, I thought you might be curious about the results of my little poll last week. For those of you just tuning in, last week I asked which operating system you use on your computer. Why? Because I’m a nerd. And because Lifehacker polled their readers and found that Win 7 was the most popular operating system used among their readers. And my husband declared that was an unrealistic view of which operating system is actually the most widely used. His guess was that Windows XP would be the most widely used operating system if we could poll everyone. I certainly don’t have access to the entire computer using population but I did have access to 8 readers and 10 computer users. And then I found this great website that me make a handy dandy pie chart that is so much cuter than the options that Open Office was giving me (now we get to the root of this, I just wanted to make a pie chart!) And the results are…
My husband nailed it, with the majority of you being Windows XP users. I saw a few “I wish I used a Mac,” comments and well since my husband didn’t leave a comment there are no results for Linux. But, yes, hands down, XP takes the take, er pie.
So, I thought this whole pie chart thing was super fun and I’m thinking about doing this again. Pioneer Woman does it sometimes and she’s like my idol so why not, right? So this week, tell me:
Who is your favorite talk show personality? Ellen, Oprah, the ladies on the View, Regis, Kelly, Tyra, other?
My answer: Without a doubt, I looooove Ellen. I couldn’t resist picking up the latest issue of O Magazine since she’s this month’s co-cover girl. Go Ellen!

I love Ellen! There is something about Oprah that annoys me. I guess I remember too much of the old days when she was wearing body suits lol. I think Ellen is hysterical. I love Conan O’Brien as well.

I’m going to have to go with Ellen too. I don’t watch a lot of daytime tv, but she always puts me in a good mood whenever I tune in. Oprah is great too.

The whole question about which OS we use, the winner being XP doesn’t surprise me. I’m using Vista, and hated it for the longest time. I guess it’s grown on me, I’m not hating it as much. lol
Talk Shows … sheesh I’m not sure. I really haven’t watched any of them in AGES.
I like all the ones you listed, and when nothing else is on, hey I’ll watch Jerry … makes me feel normal. Ha!

I love Kelly & Ellen although I typically don’t watch much daytime tv. And I can’t stand Oprah now. It’s like half the time she can’t even be bothered to be interested in her guest unless they are celebrities.
I have to change my answer to last week’s question. Hubby updated me to win 7 last Sunday.

Definitely Ellen. I can’t stand Oprah, and haven’t watched anyone else. Ellen’s show started when I was on leave after having Alex so I watched it every day.

I of course watch Ellen and I’m so going to miss watching her come Monday. We aren’t cool enough yet for DVR and that’s probably the only show I would use it for anyway.
I honestly don’t even watch Oprah anymore, as that’s right when the kids are coming home, and homework and other things are going on. I will say I will be watching today for Rob. I don’t even really think he’s cute at all ( I think we had this discussion before) but I want to see just what he has to say about the movie in general.

I watch Ellen everyday, I love her, I never bought O magazine before, but was thinking maybe buying this one. The View drives me crazy, I don’t watch that anymore. I like instead Kathie Lee & Hoda on the Today show.
