Which OS do you like most?

xBoom · 03-18-2007, 04:04 AM

For me, it's Windows XP because it's a fast, stable and has good memory management. No problems with it except hardware problems and app problems (not by Microsoft).

I like Vista too but.. it's heavy, my game ran smoother on XP than Vista.
CPU never gets idle (0% - 4%) on Vista even with the classic theme.

XP is my choice now (I tried Vista).

Currently I am running three different versions of Windows here. Both 32bit versions of XP along with Vista. Before spending on the improvements that will eventually seen in the Ultimate version I bought the initial release of the Home Premium edition to get familiar with the changes now seen. But XP Home remains on the primary while XP Pro is seen on recently added sata. Besides games which do run on Vista there are desktop programs that still require XP at this time.

I ran several distros here for a time but there were no Linux drivers found for the dsl router here. That kind of put a damper on things.

Pretty, but slow. And horrible networking to boot.

I've used all six windows OS's both at home and at work and XP is the most stable of them.

Mac or Linux I can't honestly comment upon
