Which operating System is your favorite? Which one do you use the most?

Windows, linux is okay if you understand everything, but the average user will not.

Got Win XP/7 on my Macbook and Vista(Home premium)/7/Linux on my xps m1730.

Windows family baby!

Linux is just as easy as windows, just nobody knows what it is lol. I use windows though, because my stock market software is not compatible with linux.

I've used Linux more on my ps3 than I have on PC. The majority of people just download it for the fact of having Linux, honestly.

What Linux do you guys use? I use Ubuntu

 

[Schnell]

Windows. I've always used it and don't see why it matters which one I use.

That sad I would never touch a mac. "It's not a PC, it's a Mac" is the most annoying sentence in the known universe.

Ubuntu is a distribution of Linux built with user functionality in mind. In my eyes, it's useless. It's based on Debian, and Debian is a capable distribution, however Ubuntu is bloated with too many programs that aim to make the user go "oh, that's neat", which as a result wastes disc space and memory.

When I use Linux, it's usually Gentoo, which I build from scratch (which, depending on the processor speed etc, can take well over a day or two). That way I don't waste any disc space, and everything is optimised for my computer because of the build flags I set. Typically a distribution used by developers and servers.

Still, I use Windows Vista for everyday tasks like gaming and study. I'm probably getting Windows 7 soon.

Apples software is the best! <3

But other then that I like vista and that's what I have on my desktop.

 

[Trip.Fagex]

Both XP and Vista is what I use.

 

[jeckyll jeckyll hyde]

Unfortunately my laptop that I purchased 6 months ago came with vista pre-loaded onto it, i've been too lazy to switch to another though. On my desktop I have xp, as it is easy and simple.


The laptop's that the Australian government have just handed out, all have windows 7 enterprise edition on them. I guess it's good but it's just vista with different menu locations.

 

[unique god]

Xp .

Running xp here. I hate that Vista and the likes are so user friendly.

Always used windows since like 95 when I was just a little kid so windows is the one for me. No real reason other than Im familiar with it.
Using windows 7 64 bit professional right now and its ok apart from my wireless not working right but I found on windows 7 forum a fix to it =)
At least a temporary fix
Bit like my refusing to buy an xbox cos Ive always stuck with sony apart from the sega megadrive and nintendo ds and wii.

 

[Fidel]

Windows, because none of the others appeal to me.

 

[Mattjew]

Windows because in my opinion it's the easiest to use.
