What is your favorite operating system?

Vista service pack 1 all the way, with a phone line connection from net zero.

Lol jk..

I have tried almost all operation systems (linux bases, xp, vista, 7, dos (lol), 2000, 98, etc.) and the best to date has been xp.

Linux is just not used for anything reasonable... Its just not practical in a world that runs on windows, and why use an emulator when you can have the real thing. Xp and windows 7 are the best solutions for an os currently.

*note* I'm talking about home office operating systems.

The only linux base os that runs with less resources than xp is DSL (damn small linux) which is a bootable os which has no comparison to xp.

never really used dos or previous windows before 3.0
win 3 was sumthing to learn
win 95 was awesome compared to previous
win 98 gave me so many problems and hated it
win ME (formatted day of)
win xp fixed all my problem (eventually)
VISTA was awesome! loved it. (take that fanboys)
win 7 is neat atm. (my 1st switch to 64 bit)

my fav OS is Vista.

In order: Leopard, Snow Leopard, Tiger, Ubuntu, Panther.

Windows 7 of course

Xp ftw :)

Loving both Windows XP and Windows 7 but this is still the time where, XP is getting really old and not supported and Windows 7 is new and small time developers are still too lazy to write code for them.

Snow Leopard, Leopard, Ubuntu.

In that order.

Priority wise

Windows XP
Windows 7
Ubuntu

Windows 7, Ubuntu, Red Hat 5, Windows XP, Hannah Montanta (http://hannahmontana.sourceforge.net/Site/Home.html)

Windows XP so far.
Going to try Windows 7 in a few days.
