I think it is time for a real flam war to get started so here we go:

What is the best overall OS (operating system)?

Now let the figths betwen the mac users, micrsoft feraks and penguin lovers begin!!!

I voted Win 95-98 because Im not a hardcore computer user and Windows suits my need as an average computer user. Plus I've looked all the OS's my Dad has installed and they don't look too user friendly to me. Win 95-98 instead of XP because it doesn't have any of XP's fancy stuff, it runs better and faster on my computer and crashes less.

i agree with paulbian

i voted linux, because though i don't run it myself, all my experiences with it have been great - the fact that it is free is also in its favor. it also comes with a lot of programs and different guis, so id have to say linux. the fact that it is also open source and open to development, and that the people who do work on it donate their time and are not paid (well most) is just awesome.

I don't think I ever heard on the news about a new security hole being discovered in linux and everyone been told to download a fix patch right away Laughing

windows on other hand could be compared to a ducktaped chicken wire Laughing

its people on linux who write the viruses for windows... at least thats what i heard.

and im with catalyst, as soon as i buy another pc or get another hd, im getting slackware, the problem with it now is that i have an onboard lan card (on my motherboard built in) and linux won't recognize that without any serious installations and stuff that i have no idea about, so thats a problem cause then i couldn't have internet. but if i get another, cheaper pc then maybe it would work. we will just have to see won't we.

this poll really has no meaning. techincally you should only post if u have some hand-on-experiene (for a duration of at least a month or so) on every os listed up there.

cuz if u don't have such a wide experience with all those os'es.. u really can't compare.

Maverick · **Posted:** Fri Mar 12, 2004 5:14 pm

I voted XP, becuase i like XP pro and how it all goes together. Its the only one ive used other then 95-98 too and its better then those.

no, thats windows CE (i think)

and rizzix of cores it has no meaning Razz

thats the fun of it. If anything this poll will show more of "what OS do you uses" then what os is the best.
