what is the OS of your choice?

There are starting to be more OS' out there than we can actually count. but im curious what people use and why. there is the windows users there reason being its biggest user base and largest market for gaming and etc. However due to its typical problems (virus, the disappointment that was vista etc.) can always have some room for adjustment. mac users who wanted to get away from said viruses or have shown their long time dedication and also claim is a better os all together (though this always rises much debate due to its smaller user base and prejudice from past experiences of bad computing times when everything sucked and was slow as well as some arguments of upgrade limitations) as well as its computers ability to handle multiple os' more easily as of recently due to its intel processors. And the home made os with more versions than you'd think that is known as linux. Well known  for its hardware optimization, the near endless interface innovations, the ability to run a 5 year  old computer like it is new, and its 100% user created development making it so you can not only get it for free but make it your own all together. However this os Still is just user  created and while it may be stable and virus free (and free all together), has the smallest user base and can be frustrating to the non computer savvy types because simple thing such as finding apps can have its nightmares and its help support (although friendly) can sometimes be as frustrating as conversing with a man of another language. but which os' do you use? i ask this a a neutral candidate because i happen to use windows mac and ubuntu.

Well, how would I go to my home directory, create a new directory called windowsisshit, go inside it, create a new file called fuckyou, make it executable, and make the contents remove everything on this partition? That's a really simple operating, but I'm guessing you can't even do that.

I'm >>40, and I actually use Debian. My point was just that while you could have a meaningful discussion about whether (non-Mac) BSD or Linux is better (and better for what), if someone thinks Linux is a worse OS than any of the Windowses or Mac OS, he doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.

I have plan9, inferno, archlinux, mac os x leopard, emacs and windows xp in this machine, I really like plan9, but most of the time I end up using linux.

I'm on IE and it still looks like shit.

Just use all of them... As if real geeks actually pay for any of that shit anyway. Don't dual boot though - its a damned pain the backside. Don't buy apple hardware - just do a hackintosh. Buy a bunch of cheap small boxes, and put a hardcore graphic card in the windows box for gaming.

windows?

Plan 9 from Bell Labs

what linux should i use i have an old pc with win2k so i can put a linux on that.

Vista

xp, cause the last time i tried vista it kept crashing (motherboard drivers) iand i dont have a ditectx 10 card anyway

Slackware.

I use XP on two machines, 2k (I <3 antiques), and Slax (very useful).

>>61
2k, antique? I use NT4. Your failure is total.

>>62
NT4? I use paper and a pencil when I feel modern, otherwise I use rocks.
