Windows XP is quite good... I can honestly say I have less problems with my XP machines than my Macintosh. Neither have major problems, but I tend to have many little problems with the mac...

Plus, as the others mentioned, you can't find any software for other OS's...
 
The age old question "Which OS?" or "What OS are you running?"
Ok. It's real simple there is no better OS over all. It varys from person to person. Most people like Windows because they just want internet, gaming and that sort of crap. Networking most people go with Linux or Unix. Really if you want to have any grasp of knowledge about compiling or networking. You need to learn Linux. It's very simple but most people don't realize. All you really have to learn is Red Hat or Fedora. Because most of all Linux distos are based on it. Once you learn one of those. It's not gonna be really hard to figure out the others. But still you're gonna want to try all of the Linux distos to see which one fits you bested. Some like Slackware, Some like Knoppix.
Personally I run Windows mostly, but Linux is always somewhere on an old computer I have.
 
I like both windows and a little bit of linux.. where is the both selection? But windows more because I have gotten so good at crashin it on a monthly basis :)
 
I like windos compatibility, but i liked the sharp look of a Mac OSX. but now i have the look of a Mac on my pc, so i get the best of both worlds.
 
I have a server running Linux, and my main computer with XP. I chose Linux because I really like it, and it is the OS that CMU's Red Team Robotics uses. :D

I agree with most of what you just said, except for the "Red Hat or Fedora" part. Since when are most of all distros based off the overrated, bloated distro Fedora Core? There are SOME distros based off major distributions. If anything most distros are based off slackware (The Oldest maintained distro), since slackware shows it's unix roots the most and linux is a clone of unix ;).

There is no best OS. Just like there is no best tool. With that said, I don't see any unix variants in the poll :rolleyes: .
