The OS Wars

Which Operating System do you like best? Doesn't have to be the one you use, just your personal favourite. Mac OS 9? Windows 2000? Vote here, and post your choice. If you selected "Other", state which one! You can only choose one, but feel free to add which operating systems you also like, that are just not your favourite! The OS Wars start here!

(Please do not flame anybody, except the Mac fanboys (joking :P))

Good that you agree, Ubuntu is the absolute best by far and no comparison, but Beryl software is totally unneeded, and not really important to show off how great Ubuntu is. Not many people with the time and brains to use Ubuntu really need their programs to set alight when they close them :P :lol: :D Ubuntu FTW!

Note to all: Linux is NOT limited, and pretty much EVERYTHING that works on Windows/Mac will work on Linux, if you can work out the commands and set things up the hard way. It's free, clean from viruses, has excellent applications, and is the best operating system (well, the distros are, the one I voted was Ubuntu) ever created. Linus Torvalds is a saint. Windows owns 90% of the market, Mac has 10% or maybe a little under for operating systems that aren't well known, but Linux owns NONE of it. Because there is no market, it's FREE :D Vista is a joke, Mac is as bad as Big Rigs, and Linux will reign supreme for people with the brain capacity to use it.Camzo

 i am sure you are running windows on your PC and why would i want to jump through so many hoops to get something working. Most of the software I use will never work on Linux and though some games work they don't work well. Some don't work at all and they simply emulated.

Not really, as you can use Wine, the Windows Emulator, which works perfectly with any software designed for Windows. This means you can have the pure excellence of Linux also with your favourite games. And as for Mac, there are ways around that too.Camzo

Why on earth would I want to emulate anything? Half the time it does not work and games do not work properly. So you are saying it's better to emulate than to play native? Smart choice........

When did you last try it? There were problems with it until about a month ago, when Ubuntu gave directions on fine-tuning it. It now DOES work perfectly, you will not notice any difference running something in either OS.Camzo

Can you run STALKER well?

There are many software that i use that will never work with linux also I doubt my printer has linux drivers. I have no time to get an emulator working when I can save myself time and stress by using Windows.  It's just not worth it to me but i am happy that you are happy using it.

I have not gotten a virus in over 5 years using XP....

Not even 1 pop-up..

Anti virus are the most horrible programs ever. I dont want to be prompted whenever I turn my PC on. And although Gates give a very large sum away, he still has like 6 billion dollars or something stupid i think it may be more, for himself. Nobody need 6B to live.Camzo

Looks like you have something agenst Bill Gates not viruses , virus scans or Operating Systems.

Quit your hating :-)
