I use Windows because of compatibility but I hold no loyalty to it. I enjoy using linux as well. So far I've found Fedora to be one of my favorites.

Windows because of good/existent DVD encoders and AVI frameserving apps as well as general compatability (and its much more pleasent to do development for windows)

Linux because it runs more smoothly.

).

Windows, though I would like to experiment with Linux and possibly of dual-boot of those just stated. I have used Mac OSX, and quite franky

. I just don't like Mac i general though.

Which operating system do "YOU" prefer

I liked windows 2000 because it was plain and simple, but because Windows XP is later and has more updates I use that.

Debian GNU/Linux

When I get some time (maybe after Christmas) I think I'll try out Gentoo...

I have seen my friend and others using linux and I found it quite nice to use. However, I find that the amount of software available to Windows users is the strongest point to Windows. I mean I know there are many programs that exist for linux, however, I still believe that Linux is not as straightforward and easy to use as Windows XP for example. Talking about MacOS, I hate it. I am sorry but it's an alternative I personally find very annoying for what I look for...

Linux is probably best for people that want the most out of an operating system. Like for example u can write ur own version of Linux and create all kinds of programs and system tools, windows is just toooooooo constricting for me..

I would recommend Windows for people that just want to check emails and browse net and maybe do some word processing.

To all the other serious techie people u already know which os is the best.
