i dare to SAY windows is the best

[Argosoft]

The best....

I think that the best os in fact of ease of use (and hardware compatibility ) is Windows, but... the one that works better is clearly Linux.


but,


since I'm too lazy to learn how to run a program by typing "program -ow -x 300 -a 'zxcv -tghj -p9'" I use windows

[Spectre]

With GUI's such as Gnome and KDE being implemented, you don't have to type 'program -ow -x 300 -a 'zxcv -tghj -p9' to start anything, you just need to click on it as you would with Windows.

Many of the Linux flavors are becoming more like Windows in the way that the user interacts with them, and are becoming much easier to use.

i voted for Mandrake...



ps sorry for complaining, but instead of gentoo or linspire, you should put slackware in poll...

of course, but there is a big selection of command-line-only softwares... for example.. tar, or gcc (the only way I can use gcc is through an IDE )

I think Windows is the most user friendly. I don't have to spend much time figure out how to get the work done on Windows. Also, the knowledge base is intensive that I can troubleshoot from the info it offers. But Windows needs reboot more often.

[football123213]

Windows is the best i think but some other people done

[andyy15]

I would say windows because almost everything on the market today is made for windows.

[LuciferStar]

easy to use and even the Installation

[popac]

Hah, you all dare to think windows is the best, how many people try somethin elese???

Windows is the best for losers that onlu think about games, but when you go on internet you *BLEEP* all of the viruses on stupid Misro$heet Windblows eXPensive!!! What..s wrong with windows, you can play 60% of game, wach dvx, dvd, listen music, go safety to net ETC.


You should rely put slackvare in the list, I vote for mandrake, but...

[xboxrulz]

You left out Fedora Core and SuSE. They are also a MAJOR Linux distro.

Also, you left out the most popular UNIX, Macintosh.


I would vote for SuSE but, there's no options for it!


xboxrulz

[Spectre]

Macintosh isn't UNIX -- MacOS, however, is based on UNIX.

Macintosh != MacOS.

[wassie]

i think windows
because most people use it.
and its most relyable

[Spectre]

Windows isn't exactly what you'd call 'reliable'. 'Compatible', maybe, but not reliable.

Due it's constant stream of bugs and other flaws, especially in the security and stability department, Windows is one of the least-reliable widely used operating systems on the market.

[ill]

i voted for windows cause that's what i use, it's really the only one i've used since apple... and i think that windows is easier than it so... go figure

You mak me leaf






Well, put Slackware, SUSE, MacOS, Rad Hat & Fedora Core, Solaris... in the list.

[Landae]

MacOS X and above . You cannot get any easier for an installation of the OS. And installing applications is generally drop-and-drag. I wouldnt mind trying some other OS's though.

[Critical_Impact]

If you keep your windows system fully updated with the right virus protection and try to keep it clean, windows can run really fast. The only reason i use windows is because of compatability and the large amount of good games for it. I play a lot of games so linux probably wouldnt work for me.

[popac]

Well, you can get Linux and Windows on same HD!!! Just you have to pick one from meny that come up after bios boot and that´s it. Play games on Windows, Do everything else on Linux

[CodeName_88]

I'll go with Windows for the ease of use.

[PenDragon]

i didn't vota but i dont think that it would be fair to as with any vote you must understand all the choices and i dont i have only used widows and find it to be a fine program i have had problems but they can be fixed by my father who thinks he knows mare than me and i let him although i think my 7 year old cousin knows more
the point is that i have no expirience with the other os so i didn't vote

I know how it feels to have a parent who thinks they know it all - my mother does the same. Although, she does get my computer fixed when it's broken, but anyone can really do it with enough time.

Personally, I prefer Windows with a Different Shell, but that's because of my limited PC. (Ram and Processer, and all that neat stuff.)

Although, I do like Linux Alot.. so I can't vote, whereas I can't decide.

[X3r0X]

I use windows cause it is compatible with almost everything. It is far from reliable though

[imly]

hmm. i dont know. i've never heard of  Linspire or Gentoo before. lol
