linux or windows(xp,vista,7)

Hi.Which is the best?Its XP for me.Of course I am yet to meet Mr.Windows 7.But Vista is definetely out of the top OS list.I havent used Linux much,I used it some time back.Of all the OSs I have been through Windows XP is the one I prefer to use.

For me I prefer windows over other operating systems. And of all the windows versions I've used, windows 7 is the best. It's clean, has a classy look, modern, backwards compatible with my old favorites software, performs better, and many more. There's nothing I can complain about it for now. I hope I won't encounter problems with in the future.

I prefer to use window xp and linux dual boot. I as a programmer like to use Linux as everything you need is easily available in Linux. XP is more user friendly. Consume less resources. Vista was worst Operating system ever. Microsoft was thinking that every one have computer with high resource. but they was wrong. Lots of bigger organization denied to use Vista.

Well it depends on what is your purpose of having operating system.
If you want security (hacking) but not user friendly you prefer linux.
But if you want user friendly environment but not to tight security then you prefer windows.

Windows I guess. More software are workable on the Window platform. Linux? Never used one before. I don't think I will ever use Linux, unless I venture more into computing and stuff in the future.

For my oponoin the best operating system are XP and linux,don 't be certain for eindows 7 as they are on the testing at least..

Linux is for database and for expert programmer and also geeks.
linux is powerful and good.

Windows contains many loop holes and easily hacked and bypass.


by the way i use them both.

Well, windows 7 came out a couple weeks ago. It is great. Vista is bloated junk and should never be used. XP is an outdated system. Windows 7 definitely fixed all the problems i had with vista. If you were one of those that never upgraded to vista and stayed with XP, then you would be fine upgrading to windows 7.
Personally though, I like linux. Sabayon, LinuxMint, and Mandriva are all great systems and are worth a try.

with out doubt ill use linux os because its user friendly but its not stable, if u compare with linux and also about cost per licence


for example;

1.in microsoft so many virus attacks have been happaning but in linux there is very secured os


2.and in business they have to pay per licence cost for office computers,but in linux it is open source there is no charges to use it

Hi, I'll prefer the Linux, cuz it's free and open source, so it's safer for me around other OS. Currently I've installed a linux distribution called gNewSense, it's really beautiful and powerful, however, I use windows xp in my daily work time, so the linux is just one of my hobbies after work.
Have a nice day, tariqueahmed89!
