Which OS do you prefer and why?

[Aldo]

since Linux is, in my opinion, much better for server use than Windows. no offense to Azellus

OFC it's better, that's a no brainier

Xubuntu and Windows 2000. I prefer Xubuntu since Xfce is lightning fast in comparison to GNOME and much prettier than KDE. Windows 2000 on the other side is quite handy for doing stuff that really needs Windows (like making calculations in Mathcad or drawings in CorelDraw) and is honestly the last good version of Windows; the only thing that it's missing is the ClearType font smoothing, nothing else.

Windows 8, no questions.

Are you serious?

For phone: Android. It's unfriendly to casual people but to me it's one of the best and most tweak-able OSes ever
For computer: Windows 7 and Mac OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard. Lion was a bit screwy with my software and I haven't tried Mountain Lion yet. I don't take sides in the Windows vs OS X battles because they're kinda stupid anyways. Both have their uses, but I primarily use Windows.
For computer (VMs): Windows 98/95 and 3.11. Games don't work on newer stuff.

Along time ago, people were starting programs and maintaining their pc by typing everything from a command prompt (c>)
As this was kind of unfriendly to new users, a GUI (Graphical interface) was developed around it, so instead of working from a command prompt people could use their mouse to do almost everything.

It says exactly the same in my HAVO Informatics textbook.

You'd expect a crappy performance on a 5 year old laptop, but surprisingly, Apple's Lion runs amazing on this Macbook.

People will throw bullshit at you saying it sucks, it doesn't run games, etc. Here is the basic run deal, want to do work, get a Macbook, want to play games, get a PC, or even better, install Windows 7 in Boot Camp. With my five year usage of this Macbook, I have never been more pleased in a product. It was worth the $999 I spent on it, and will continue to serve others as a hand-down.
