    Well, contrary to popular opinion, I would have to say Windows! OK, Windows has bugs, and is memory intensive, but it is very easy to use, I haven't had a BSoD in months, and there is loads of kick ass software available. Anyway, which of us could write 3 million or so lines of code withput a few bugs cropping up?

    OK, I like linux too, but IMHO, Windows is by far the best!

    I hate MacOS BTW!!

    i love Linux, it is very fast and effcient, i agree that windows is easy to use, but i still ove linux, i don't particularly like Mac OS either

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

    I actually like most OS' I like Linux / Unix becuase of its stability, I like Mac OS because of its simplicity and I like Windows because it is used by most people.

    I don't think that there is one truely good OS just whichever has its use at the time..

    Needed Drivers.

    OS/2 suffered due to a lack of device drivers, probably because IBM still had a mainframe mentality.

    That OS was intuitive, object oriented, and robust. The interface was quite similar to Windows9x. I do not remember it ever crashing.
