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.

I'm using XP since I've bought my PC :lol:

Windows 7

OSX Snow Leopard and Windows 7

Windows 7

win 7/ubuntu

win vista ultimate 64 bit
usin it fr more than a year and with no probs :)

Windows 2000 Pro, MCSE since it first came out, 5 machines in my home LAN. Never ran XP, too many friends with too much trouble, ran programs swapping out several MAJOR corporations off XP BACK to W2K before I retired. Maybe after several service packs it worked okay, don't know.

My W2K machines run 24/7/365, and I have to remind myself every month or two to reboot the things. ZERO DEFECTS. More solid than El Capitan.

Have one Vista machine, had to because too much s/w requires it. It's been 'in the shop' twice on MAJOR seize-ups, mostly due to poor updates (wouldn't 'roll back'), so much so I simply don't update it at all anymore. Don't run IEx so, that's 99% of the updates I don't need (Firefox fanboy).

Win7 I'll try once it gets at least one service pack out.

windows 7 without a shadow of a doubt

linux comes close though. worth trying out if your a serious torrenter.

Now days I would say Windows 7! I have never had a operating system that had worked so good out of the box. Look at XP were you have to install 100 drivers yourself and compare to Windows 7 were you don't have to do anything.

Windows XP, Debian.

i think Windows 7 it's ok

i used Window xp since 2006 never upgrade to other Os.

Windows 7

Still XP! I think it's gonna be like this for a while :)

Windows 7, Arch

Even though I have Windows 7, XP will always be my favorite.

Still prefer XP

Ubuntu for the win

Windows 7

Windows 7

ive always used win xp Pro, i switched to Ubuntu a few times but always have to set up dual boot due to restrictions on software/drivers not being compatible or the same =\

i still use and like xp.

for me Win XP pof. Sp3

Windows 7 ROCKS

Xp sp3

All these n00bs and their XP/Win7 :(

Be a man, use VirtualBox and run your winblows o/s with a linux flavour, preferably something along the lines of Gentoo, Debian or BSD ;)

Windows 7 ultimate x64

windows 7 x86!!! i love win 7, much nicer than xp and runs just as well :)

Windows 7

XP and Windows 7 is my choice
