How can one love a windows version? The only ones close to be called working are XP and Windows 7 BUT I would never say I love them. It's more a being forced to use them
depends on the hardware. For a low resource PC i would go for xp but for a high end computer i will definitely go for windows 7.
Started using Win 7 since last one month and looks good to me till now. Earlier used XP,Vista but that time liked XP. DON.
