What is your favorite OS?
im using win 7
Mmm Windows 7
Ya Windows 7 is much better than vista.
Windows 7. Â But there is nothing wrong with Vista.
Windows 7, even in RC stage it owns the Vista.
Linux, it is what makes this website possible, among other things.
I'd like to interject for a moment.
What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as
I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an
operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a
fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined
by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU
system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of
events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called
"Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the
GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a
Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the
system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that
allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by
itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating
system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating
system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or
GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really
distributions of GNU/Linux.
It appears that my post has been edited without my knowing.
The Linux kernel started out completely independent of the GNU project. Stallman had this idea about making an OS with a micro kernel (GNU Hurd) that did only the lowest function of the system, leaving EVERYTHING else in the user space.
The Linux kernel was originally coded by Linus Torvalds. In the fall of 1991 Linus released a very early version of the kernel on usenet, and the Minix community snatched it up and started throwing GNUsoftware on top of it. The GNU Hurd was incomplete and unavailable.Â
While many GNU programs were already available, most of the software you get today was written after the Linux Kernel came into fruition. Â
While the FSF would like it to be called GNU/Linux, that really is because Stallman runs it. It is an ongoing debate between Stallman and Torvalds.
I referr to it as Linux, because I have been around long enough to see this from damn near the beginning.
GNU is a License and a collection of software, it was an incomplete OS when the Linux kernel showed up. It could have flourished on its own, or failed. We will never know. What does stand as fact.. The Hurd is STILL incomplete, and unstable.
It really isn't GNU + Linux, because neither can stand on their own. the GNU software is just a bunch of programs. The Linux Kernel is just a brain.
Debian is GNU, The rest of the Distributions are a bunch of people who got together with similar Ideas about what an OS should consist of, and slapped it all together.
Which is why Gentoo differs from Redhat which differs from Slackware, and so on. (I have used/administered most of them.)
and just to be clear.. BSD is not Linux, Nor is it GNU, even though you can install GNU software on it.
Install Gentoo
That's why I use Windows 3.0
CMD Prompt ftw, home skillet.
I just gotta figure out how to install my keyboard drivers...Windows 3 came out in 2003, right?
I still have a copy of OS2/Warp 4 here.. going to install it to a separate partition on my DOS 6.22 box.
I will go over the Rundown when I do a Rig(s) video
Windows 7 has been an absolute beast...this is coming from someone who's jumped straight from XP and has had very little experience with vista,that's saying something... 
OSX, for the casualness.
Vista will definitely go down in history as one of the most succesful operating systems ever.
I'd have to say Windows XP, but Vista isn't giving me any problems either. I honestly will be using Windows XP on my new custom built PC when I build it.
I haven't given Windows 7 a whirl yet, but I probably will in the future.
Vista
Worked before.. Now it's just failure.
XP? That's an OS from 2001.
sigh i have XP atm and i love it... on my new computer ill get vista and then get 7 when i have the funds....
I use Opensuse 11.1, Fedora 10, Windows 7, very occasionally Vista (hate it), and I used to use XP but that was before my windows drive died. XP and Vista are dead and dying. Fenster Sieben FTW! (that's Windows 7 in German)
