Win ME
Windows 7 looks like a knockoff of the KDE environment.
Windows xp but I am using both OS because I have problem with sound in windows xp :(
XP for sure
was,is,will be :D
Win7
Win7 & Kubuntu 9.10, not sure which one I will keep finally, coz both of them are pretty good. What are your views?
For which purposes do you need your PC for? Do you have a lot of gadgets, like media players, phones, etc that you use?Quote:

Windows 7 x64 FTW

Win 7 - god bless 64 bit!
My favourite would be whatever the newest Windows OS is, in this case Windows 7.
Linux. Is there anything else?

Linux is my favourite
windows 7 is best for me
Linux is the best by far.
win 7
windows XP
Windows 7 by far. Turn off UAC, windows firewall, delete bloatware, OC dual/quad cores and you got a smooth system
what do yoh consider bloatware? win defendor, winmedia, ie, games?
Windows 7 :w00t:
as some of you know, I've only had it for a few days now, bu so far I'm loving it.
I know it might be too soon but it's the details that got me exited about it,
like the easiness the task bar provides for switching between windows (I know many ppl hate it, so may be it's just the gimmick of it),
or how I can access my Messenger functions directly form the tab on the task bar, without having to go to the lower left corner of my desktop,
the cool transparent effect when you hover the pointer over a determinate tab,
the fact that it immediately recognized and added my two extra hard drives without any trouble,
and that when I turn on my HDTV to watch a movie I downloaded, it automatically configures it, I don't have to do anything,
when in Xp I had to do it manually from the ATI Control Center,
also when I connect my Zen W it recognizes it an open a neat window that displays the device status,
like space, battery and stuff, and also gives me a few automatic options to import music, videos, etc.
Still I guess more time has to pass so I can find out
if it gives me any issues.

Linux... Is there others?
... And then God invented DirectX.Quote:

Flash is cross platform. No big deal.
DX is the de facto gaming API used by all major developers.
And don't say openGL is great. Because it isn't.
Windows XP...more stable then 7!
That is true, but it was never given a fair chance was it.Quote:

Same with linux. Give it a fair chance. And you can't say it's worse when it does good with no money compared to your os.
I use linux too, have used it for years, both for servers and workstations. It has its uses, but they always require someone knowledgeable operating the network.
It will never take Windows' place because, among many things, it isn't as user friendly as windows is.
Try comparing the ease of plugging a phone to the computer, whether it's an iphone or PPC or a regular shitty phone, and then do the same at linux, where you have to go to the repos get lots and lots of dependencies for filesystems etc etc.
Try comparing the power management of linux compared to windows (on my eepc laptop windows 7 makes the battery last almost 1,5 hours plus, even after I use advanced stuff like powertop on linux to reduce it's operation to the max).
The list goes long. It's true linux was even more behind than now it still is, but it will only become mainstream when one of their distros starts thinking microsoft way. Think global.
For the average home user, it is simply not worth using. This kind of easiness comes with a price, and I'm talking about features some will never use, but which are there.
I now use Windows 7 Ultimate, and this OS is great!
^^^. Linux takes time, and is a different beast. Most of us grown on looking at Windows too. The UI seems so much more easier and more intuitive. If everyone used Linux and then their kids would use it too, they would be more accustomed to the Linux look. Personally Windows 7 user here, and I love it. It lets me do all I need without the need to sudo. I'm not a complete fanatic of my computer. As long as it can do the simple things for me, it's all good.Quote:
