Windows, Mac or Linux??

[Paul Wagner]

They are all great, I do not like Mac as much as the others, windows is great, however UBUNTU is fun, I would put it on a computer I find on the street that is junk, the music player pwns, and it's fast.

Mac. User friendly, secure, aesthetically pleasing, intuitive, user friendly, and secure. Only downside is cost and inability to run windows applications natively without some sort of catch (i.e. boot camp, parallels, fusion).

 

[masterofthebass]

Mac's really aren't secure... They just don't have the market for exploitability. (btw, I love OSX)

For all of you OSX haters out there, who like Linux, I would like to hear reasons other than cost for using Linux. I think I'll find it interesting.

anyone else install the Windows 7 beta?

mac and windows

i voted for mac because i use them for everything other than gaming(pc gamer) I used to hate macs but osx turned me around because it is better at using resources, more stable, user friendly, and to the person who posted a few posts above me IT IS MORE SECURE because on top of having no current viruses (due to less people using it than windows) it is harder to make a virus for a mac than windows that will be effective. also to the person above me ya I installed windows 7 and despite being incompatible with a few of my programs and crashing and having bugs I thought i was better at managing resources than vista.

I use OSX mainly (it has Unix under the hood for those who don't know), and I like it a lot. I've used XP extensively, and have used Ubuntu a bit, and I like both of them as well. I certainly like the structure of OSX (no registry, etc.) over XP, but XP has it's advantages as well.

Windows. If I ever bought a Mac I'd feel just a little too much like a hippie.

I used Macs a lot when I did decent for my college newspaper, though.

Am I the only one on this forum that likes Windows Vista?

Windows, you can use for Media,
Easy Features than Linux.

1) any OS can handle media
2) Linux has the repos - how can that be harder than trawling for the program you want over the web?

im a mac os x user (i tried playing with hackintosh), but i love how with linux everything is integrated so if you need an app, just type what you want into the repos and there you are! no need to search the web, virus, etc...

thats exactly how i feel!

Here's one of mine:

I love Vista.
I personally could never use a mac in my own home. There are macs at school, and I hate them.

Lovin' Windows ever since I got Windows 95 back in the 'ol days

Linux > Windows > OSX

There's no "better" or "worse". It's honestly all about personal preference.

I use Windows for gaming on my main machine, for gaming and everything else. It's less stable than OS X or Linux in many ways but it has the most support for hardware and software.

I love OS X too. It's fast, uses less resources and requires close to no effort for maintenance. No need to defrag, scan for viruses, etc.

I've experimented with Linux before but I haven't found a good enough reason for me to install it as a secondary OS. Live CDs work just fine if you just want to play around with it.

 

[Tetris Cube]

Why does everyone keep quoting me on that? >_>

Of course it's opinion. And who says you don't need to defrag on OSX? When you're low on space, a defragment will surely increase performance.

 

[KubeKid73]

You don't need to in Linux. And either its impossible to get a virus on Linux, or any viruses just don't affect Linux. I don't remember which one, but there's no crap from viruses, and no BSOD.

Also, Compiz Fusion.

 

[Tetris Cube]

It's not that viruses don't work on Linux and OSX, it's just that no one wants to create malware for any operating system besides Windows, because that's what most people use.

 

[KubeKid73]

Ok. That was something else that I thought it was. So Linux users are safe from viruses. And they don't have to pay for a simple desktop cube. And it has more features than the crappy Windows one, and you can have tons of effects.

 

[tecnikal]

Sorry to change the topic a bit but its got me wondering:

if EVERYONE were to convert to using Linux (yes, everyone wasn't lazy anymore), would microsoft suffer?

also, i heard Google was working on an operating system of their own .. hmmm

 

[KubeKid73]

I want to try it when it comes out.

The best part is the epic failing Windows fanboys' comments. And the thing about if you want to invest in an OS, get Mac, but why pay that much, when you can have those effects that Mac has in Linux, and there really isn't anything else somewhat good about Mac.

I am going to install Linux because my Windows is failing for the 3rd time, this time it cannot run the internet right, so I am going to keep windows just for games, and windows only programs.
