Computer Operating Systems
What computer operating system do you prefer to use, and why?
Personally, I like Windows, mainly because I'm used it and it's probably the most widely used. GUI's make it easy to use. I hate Linux with a passion. I never can understand how the stupid thing works.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." --Colossians 3:23-24
hmm i would have to say windows because its the only one i have ever used
I use Windows because of gaming. I occasionally play around with Linux, but I generally have trouble getting it to do what I want it to do.
i use sticks and stones
get them to rub togetehr and you can get a mighty fire.
in other words something better then windows 2000
Trust No one
OS/2
Windows XP for gaming.
SuSE / Ubuntu Linux for most other tasks.
Linux isn't standardized like Windows, which scares a lot of people off. Each distro has a distinct feel to it and a varying way of compiling source into binary, however, they all run on X and the Linux kernel. Once you you start using it, it's hard to go back. The amount of customization is insane.
I use Windows 2000, and will probably continue to use Windows. I'm looking forward to what Windows Vista will be like when it ships in late 2006.
Linux is all right, but there's very little on it that Windows can't already do.
I think that OS-X is all right, but Apple hardware is terrible. It's weak, it's expensive, it ships with a one-buttoned mouse, and the cases themselves look like a block of frozen milk.
So instead I use OS-X on my computer with PearPC. Pity it's so slow...

My mac has all my music/movies/anime so Im on that the most
If not, I use the Windows in my room
Windows.
Mac for Wacom-tableting. Linux for everything else. Windows for finding employment (sadly). At least it still runs Perl. Kind of.
Everything is on Windows, at least all mainstream stuff

my friend uses linux he says it's really good bu i'm too used to windows
LET THE HAMMER FALL
I voted MS and Other, because 'prefer' implies that I have a choice in what I use
Yes, the mainstream (though admittedly more functional) versions are for Windows. You'd be surprised, though, how many open source alternatives exist to all of the big names.Originally Posted by Hawkeye
The problem just exists in getting them setup :/
