What is your favorite operating system?

I've used windows since 98

i've used fedora core, centos, Kubuntu, ubuntu, freenas,smoothwall,ipcpo and turnkey linux.

All of which do the job for wha they are supposed to do.

centos,fedora core, kubuntu, ubuntu and windows 98,xp,vista, 7 are desktop operating systems and the linux ones can be used as servers as well.

the only problem i have is software. i can't get the software support and software compatibility for linux that i can get for windows i've used open office and added the plugin to open .docx but my pda software wouldn't work and there was no obvious compatible software i could find.

games and things are harder to find (i don't play many games) the software is the only reason i haven't switched to centos permanently a long time ago.

I liked Windows XP Pro. Was relatively stable and didn't have a lot of hassles with drivers, software incompatibilities, etc.


Yup, Windows 8 is in development. It did have a projected release date of late 2011, but its current tentative release date has been bumped back to Fall 2012.

Windows xp, windows 7 was definitely a big improvement on vista or what vista should of been. OSx is good wasn't really a fan of snow leopard. I'm not too sure but will just be saying windows xp because accustomed to it.

XP, definitely. Less hassle, less bugs etc. I liked working on 7 though. I did an install on a PC I built for a relative and had fun playing around in it, but got bored after a while. I had Gentoo linux once, had it multiboot with windows using a GRUB loader, until I had to re-install windows and couldn't get my friend to redo the grub loader, and couldn't get it working myself, I just gave up and stuck with XP. I have never used a Mac either, but I have apples OX on my iPhone.

Windows xp

i have used pretty much all the windows os so far, windows 7 and xp being my favorite ones out of them, looking to get starting using some others like linux, ubuntu and so on.

I use Linux mostly but my work PC is on Windows XP as so many programs are not supported in Linux yet! thumbsdown

Right, methinks its time to put this thread to rest as well.
