You also suck, y'know that, right?
Mac OS X is the best system. If you ask me, that is. An Apple computer is like a multimedia powerhouse, the dream of any artist.

The plug&play ability of Windows, the amount of drivers available for it all beat Linux.
I've tried Ubuntu, OpenSUSE and every windows version since windows 95.
The software available for Windows beats the linux and mac osx software in every way.
I needed a nice music player, there is NONE for linux! I tried banshee, rythmbox ragnarok, but they're all shit compared to iTunes, Winamp, songbird etc.
People are also willing to create better software for Windows, because it's a bigger market.
Setting up a home server for my roommates was such a horror with linux.. With windows i just had to plug in the ethernet cable, and my external HDD and it was all set up!
Don't get me wrong, Linux has it uses too! When i'm on my laptop and i'm without a power supply, i usually boot in ubuntu because of less power consumption, longer battery life. Also ubuntu boots up a bit more quickly so when i just need to check mail or read a pdf, i use ubuntu.
Can't really judge about mac OS X, i tried it once with a friend, but everything was so weird and all the menu's buttons etc were all weird. It really looks like it's made for babies that need everything polished and art-y.
For PC Games, Windows is still the best.
Mac is good too, but Windows is still better.
Also Linux is a good OS. But in my eyes no challenge for Mac and Windows.

A huge amount of useless software. Mac OS X has the best programs around.
IWhoopedPythagoras has writteniTunes
Which is a Mac software.
IWhoopedPythagoras has writtenIt [Mac OS X] really looks like it's made for babies that need everything polished and art-y.
Since when do kids care about beauty? They only care about games. Mac has an awesome interface, everything there is simple and at the same time, nice looking.

Try XMMS...
MrShock has written DannyDeth has writtenBSD and Linux. Windows get's pwnd by Linux and Mac OS is based on FreeBSD.
Take that, you horribly over-priced corporations.

Assassin moder has writtenI have Windows XP Silens X3 Final edition.... It's good, but some games didn't work without special program :/, But I like IT!
What ? 3rd party ppl compilation ?
hate when someone takes, 'rebuild' OS, writes this to disk and etc, i prefer to use 'clear' & official, not compilation q-q

o_O. Never heard about that one. Google'd but still nothing.

Double fail.
First of all it's called Windows XP Silent Edition, and second that the "X3" part is how much cores your processor have...
So your OS is the Windows XP Silent Edition, not the Windows XP Silens X3 Final.
Anyway, Windows is really better than the other OSs, because it has compatibility with everything, every game, every program. And doesn't have the ridiculous problem of "Not Compatible Blah blah blah".
Linux is free, faster, doesn't crash, installing programms is easier and faster most of the time, you don't need to defragment the HardDrive all the time, there are almost no viruses. And there are MANY free alternatives to expensive windows software in linux.
ohaz has writtenLinux. I'm just using windows because I'm gaming sometimes and games don't work as easy and good on linux (Yes, I know there's wine)

Linux is a wonderful opportunity if you're skilled enough in the CS area to handle it. It's much more complicated than Mac or Windows, but allows for much more, and in many, many ways, much better. Somebody said Mac is an 'artist's dream'. However, it's also everybody else's nightmare. Mac is optimized only for multimedia tasks, and it only holds so-much of a lead in that area. Windows is good if you want a simple PC to do simple things on, like send an e-mail or print your résumé.

Wonderful if you're running a small and private home server for 4 hours a day. However, if you're running an enterprise commercial server that's going to use multi-10-core-Xeon-processors, 128GB of RAM, and racked harddisks, Linux is so far superior that Windows barely deserves a mention.
I'd say if you don't know what you're doing in terms of advanced dealings with computers, then don't use Linux, though there are some more user-friendly versions now.
Granted, numerous distributions are targeted for specific personalities, but that's the reason why I chose Arch.
Arch Linux with it's perfect package manager helps me build my custom operating system and I can't be happier with it!
I can't however see myself using Linux on a day to day basis as the operating system because it's still a hassle to use and let's admit it, I'm a lazy person and windows is by far easier to use and maintain (and video games, but that's besides the point). There's a reason that microsoft has such a large holding in the personal OS market share.
Glix has writtenLinux is dead os. The best os are mac and windows.
Argue pls ?

Linux? Dead? In which world do you live?!
currently I think Dos is the best
IWhoopedPythagoras has written[...] I needed a nice music player, there is NONE for linux! [...]
Wow dude, If you can't find a good music player for linux you shouldn't be using a computer, "fo real".
-> google.com
Argh.. my brain hurts from this thread!
The "best OS" is the one that has the most content for it, and sadly it's the overpriced properitary OS named Windows.
I would use only Linux if I wouldn't be a gamer...(Currently both installed)
Mac, in my eyes, is just overpriced as hell. Nothing more. The components are old and aren't standard conform.
