Which is your preference, and why?

I only know Windows...

As I know UNIX (not LINUX per-se, but other flavours....) and MicroS**t Windows:

LINUX will rule!

Windows IE is crap.

consolemaster,

OS X

Yodrak

Nah. MACs have been assimilated into Unix. Hehehe.

We'll have another Ice Age before Linux even makes a dent in anything close to main-stream computers(ing)...

Windows.

Love it.

It pays my bills and I am happy with our relationship...

Does it cook dinner too ?

linux, it pays my bills! i've been M$ free since july of 1997!

I use both, and as long as they work, I'm happy.

I'm clinging to that dream.

Windows.

I bought an $8 computer from Ebay with P3 800 mhz, and 256 mb ram. I ran Slackware Linux on it, and it's awesome! Run faster than Windows.

Hopefully it lets you engage in even more small talk per day.

Precisely a good reason to use it.

However, I don't use it yet. Have plans to learn it (because I have a Knoppix disc and a Musix disc) after moving to US---something to do while waiting for permission to work.

---if they say yes at the interview---

---if they say yes at the border, too---

ditto

Windows is money. Linux is free. If you want free things, learn how to use it.

But VJ is free........

Windows

but can change anytime if linux is better coz i have no knowlege of linux till date heard it 1st time lol

Linux is a far better OS however it is not as user friendly as windows, and people don't want to learn

ROFL.

Well wake me when the glaciers get here....

Windows...because for the moment, it's all I know.

My laptop is dual-boot windows (Windows 2000) and linux (Fedora Core 6) - there are benefits and impediments with both. I prefer linux, but found that to interact with most of the rest of the world I need to have windows.

i will rather go with the best one , if linux is best then linux ,

Have both but tend to boot into windows because it is just so much more familiar I guess.

Linux...

I personally cannot imagine why anyone would use Windows on purpose. Every time I'm forced into it I think the same thing.

So..to those Linux fans..

If you were a Linux-PC maker/builder's salesman - how would you convince 'Average-America' to purchase a Linux-loaded system...?

I bought 3 IBM NetVista P3 1 ghz machines for about 20-30 dollars from ebay and used Linux clustering on them. It is as powerful as the high end 1000 dollar computer. Maybe a little exaggeration, but, that is something to be proud of.

Those machines are old models of most retail POS systems. They work quite well though.

Where is the option for Mac OS X?
I don't use Windows at all, so OS X and Solaris here.
