Well, I've tried Ubuntu Gutsy and Windows Vista. I liked Ubuntu but I think that it needs more work to become a "real" OS, I mean, u need to know many code to can use it properly, I have 2PCs in one I've Windows Vista (my main laptop) and in my secondary PC (desktop) I've Ubuntu and Windows XP (dual-boot).
Give ur opinion about this OS.!

All my life, I've been using Windows. From 95 to 98 to 2000 and then XP..Finally I also used Windows Vista and went back to XP after a few months, because I didn't like it anymore - it just didn't work for me. I use Dell Inspiron 6400, so until recently it was impossible for me to have a MAC. But some time ago, it became possible for computers with SSE2/SSE3 processors, to install a modified version of Mac Leopard or Tiger...

I was waiting and waiting for a good release and then Kalyway release came and I decided to go for it....I backed up my whole system and bam, I managed to install Leopard on my system and everything works! Right now I am going to buy a license, because it is worth it...

Well now that I am able to compare mac with the windows crew, I have to say I am impressed. It looks good, it works, it doesn't lag, it just works so to speak...

So yes, my vote went for MacOSX Leopard, which is the best operating system around in my opinion...

The only thing I've noticed so far, is that I have a few long (but joyful) hours of finding good programs, because my old Windows versions don't work here...

Using mac osx was a terrible expeience, I'm good with a computer but the operating system just makes everything seem so hard and it looks terrible... Windows is better dispite it's creator companies many flaws. I want to try vista t o see if it's any good but my impressionis that its for people who can hardly use a pc and is all 'babyfied' but some features seem good like using a flash memory stick as extra ram that my friend talked about

Actually, i've tried Vista before on this one laptop. It's nothing like XP; XP, in my opinion, is much simpler than Vista. In Vista they added in a lot of stuff—unnecessary stuff, in my opinion. Sure there's always eye candy, but that all goes down the drain for me if the UI is not convenient. I'm quite sure that, although you may be familiar with XP, you're going to have to navigate around Vista a bit to better understand it.

Same story till "impossible for me to have a MAC". I too have Inspiron 6400 & now will try out the Kalyway.
Till then Windows XP rocks.

I use Windows XP, because it's easier to use and there's lots of softwares running on this platform.

Once you get over the sexiness of vista, you miss xp because it typically runs smoother.
I have vista. I wish I had xp. I'm kind of over vista now.

To me it's like there's more crap in the way.

I have Windows XP and tried Windows Vista in other Computers. Well, I would stick with Windows XP because of it's Simplicity and uniqueness. I think Windows XP gives me all of the satisfying content that I really need. And besides, Windows Vista requires too much high system specifications and it's hard for me to adjust. I dont really think that Windows Vista will make people satisfied with it. First thing when I saw it's desktop, I saw the shiney effects and other things. But actually, I find it so boring. Unlike in Windows XP when I was on my desktop, I feel refreshed with it's simplicity and it's uniqueness. Also, I find Windows Vista's new features. Well, When I saw it, there are some things there that is not really important into a person.

On the other hand, I also tried Ubuntu in our School. At first I thought it rocks but it's not. Like Windows Vista for me, I find it so boring. Although Ubuntu is distributed for free but Windows Vista is worthy to buy.
