| 827461 | 2009-11-08 02:20:00 | I'm all for Windows. It's what I know, and the best stable platform for gaming. As well as the fact it's universal and what most of the population uses, it just makes it more compatible with everything without error. Windows my number 1. Having experienced 'the Mac', it is amazing with some of it's software for video editing, photo editing, music editing etc etc etc.. however, the platform and interface is very difficult to use, options and controls are difficult to circumnavigate, and on a network they have a hard time connecting to printers, and other external devices. That is only from my point of view, it maybe not be PC, but how I have viewed them they are very abnormal and not for the average user - really only for specialists I think. I am trying Linux, well trying.. having hardware issues with my spare PC for testing. I can't really rate it because I've never really spent much time on it. However, I think it might be good...hmmm.. Anyway, Windows all the way. =D I'm just looking at your sig and I see this: Cleaning Tools: CCleaner | Registry Mechanic | Advanced SystemCare Anti Malware: Spybot S&D | Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Anti-Virus: ESET NOD32 Smart Security Business Edition Now tell me if you actually like sharing a lot of your RAM and processor cycles with them. |

| 827462 | 2009-11-08 05:32:00 | I've just made the conversion to Ubuntu Linux 9.1 and it is so much better and faster than windows. Some of the effects such as 3d windows and wobbly windows, make windows 7 effects outdated. However I will mainly use linux for web browsing on my notebook (dual boot), and will continue use windows on my desktop with office and adobe software. There are a few things with linux that are a little old fashioned and cumbersome, but overall it is a good alternative now. | robbyp (2751) | ||

| 827466 | 2009-11-09 04:22:00 | I've always liked Windows, but have a dual-boot with Kubuntu on both my laptop and desktop. I'm trying to use Linux more and more but for some reason the internet is unbearably slow in Linux :( Give Chrome beta 4.x a go on Linux. Seems to work well, and gives a better Peacekeeper score than I can get in Windows. |
