Microsoft or Free OS?

Very interesting for me qwestion.
I like Linux & and use it at home. But mought use W XP for a long time.
I know Linux strange system, but for first.
If you can do setting comfortable for you - OS will working very good.

What are you thinking: Linux or Wi?
P.S. I use Kubuntu

 

I have not used Windows in 3 years. All my systems are FreeBSD, one Ubuntu, and one CentOS.

 

Windows... and what else?

 

Well, everything depends on the special computing jobs and tasks you are doing.

For business type people and home users, Windows is the better system, since so many other softwares and custom applications are compatible with them.

 

Microsoft

 

Try Ubuntu. I liked it. I wish I didn't have to switch pack to Windows...

 

I prefer windows xp over any other operating system. My linux i run is good but not as good. Most computers now come with xp or vista anyway apart from notebooks which come with their own os.

 

Honestly it depends on what you're going to use it for

Gaming = Windows

Photo Editing, Video Editing, Design, etc = Mac

Coding, Servers, "Hacking" (yeah you read that right), etc = Linux

They can all be used for "personal" uses mozilla, word processors, etc.

 

I've tried Red Hat, but went back to Windows because *nix is just too overly complicated. I don't want to spend most of my time fighting with the os.

 

I also prefer windows xp over any other operating system. I tried *nix but it is just complicated, I think *nix isn't for me.

 

I use both XP & Ubuntu, I prefer Ubuntu but if all else fails then I got XP to fall back on

 

MicroS***S = Its too commont things

Id go to Mac = I can still do some hacking, coding, or even Video n photo editor

Mac good for both..

No more hang, No more Crash, n No more BSOD (bluee screen of death)

CMIWW

 

too bad mac sucks at gaming I wish linux was better for gaming too but until hardware manufacturers start looking at linux with a serious face we won't see any updates.

 

But I was installed game like DOOM, n Need For Speed on my Mac. its works Fine

 

I still like Windows XP. BUt i have laptop with Ubuntu installed.

 

Very well explained!

 

For general use I would say that linux is what you should go for. Windows only for gaming and photohshop!
Linux being faster, more secure, is the better one around. You'll certainly be less prone to virus and similar threats.
If you have the misconception that Linux is harder to use then think again 'cause with all new desktop environments like gnome, kde and xfce, linux has become pretty easier to use.
I am with linux and use ubuntu. May be you'd like to read a one of my articles about ubuntu:
"Variety that comes with an Ubuntu installation" => http://divyun.com/variety-that-comes-with-an-ubuntu-installation/

 

Both !! ... XP & UBUNTU

Ubuntu is just great ....

 

i am tired of windows.....
think its time for me to change to fedora or ubuntu...
