XP. Never tried Vista, but it sounds pretty bad. And I tried Linux, and I don't really like it.

only Windows is in question

personally, i like vista more than xp. My laptop has 2GB of ram, so I have no issues with it...

I dont understand the purpose of these threads... it never produces any insightful results, people rarely have anything intelligent to contribute let alone get anything from them.

I prefer Windows XP because it's the only one I use on a regular basis.

I've tried Vista a few times. My Mom's computer uses it. Some things were switched around, like add/remove programs. Nothing a google search couldn't solve. I use it only to print stuff every once in a while. The only problem I have with it is it can't boot with my jump drive plugged in, but that probably has more to do with the bios.

Those vista Issues are a Lie. I only had one problem with my computer since I got my computer and it's not even OS related. bad update for wireless DLink driver.

So, because you didn't experience them they can't be true.

My favourite is Linux, then XP, the Vista.

Macs are the way to go. so no XP or Vista!
haha

Mac's are bulky hard to use, locked down, awkward, inflexible, bad UI, I could go on. It's a horrible operating system, they should stick to hardware and go with Linux or something better then the garbage they shovel out.

Ok if there so garb....then why is it that your PC can get full of viruses in about 10 seconds and theres not one known virus for the mac...
And macs are flexible just not user friendly. You have to know it inside and out (which is a downside). Also, Im into audio production. Anything in the audio/graphics field work real well with macs.
If your into programming or just everyday surfing, PC's work better.
Theres ups and downs to both.
You just have to know how to work your system.
Right now I use a mac at my school (actually 4 macs to be honnest) and I use them for Protools (industry standard for recording). The digi002 board and any recording hardware works so much better on mac.
So its totally preference.
Arguing about whats better is pointless.
Its preference and whatever your field of choice is.

Windows 3.1 all the way, it uses less ram and cpu then vista and xp combined and the graphics card requrments are way lower!

Also the inverterface is admazing with all thos lovely windows that are just so easy to move around and mupliate. And who can't love thos retro icon sets and the qbasics monkeys and nibbels games?

The impovements are just so great over windows 3, who could not love 3.1? This hole real OS thing is just so overated in xp and vista! Who needs a real OS when you can just have a desktop evniorment over DOS?
