So Macintosh ,Windows or linux wich is your favorite?

I use Mac and Windows on a daily basis and rarely use linux. I prefer Mac. Just curious to know all the assemblers member favorite O.S.

 

I predict it will take 2 hours for this to turn into a flame war.

Anyway, I've used all 3 extensively and I prefer Mac OS X. It's attractive, reliable, fast, easy-to-use, and it can do virtually anything (except games) as good or better than Windows. It's also great for video.

 

Used to be a Windows/Linux dual boot kinda guy, but ever since I got my iBook G4 I just cannot get over how wonderful the OS is. I mean, if it has a proper maximise command it would be pretty much the perfect OS. Oh and did I mention how pretty it is?

Games are a non-issue with the OS though as the only decent game I have really felt the need to play on the iBook is Rise of Nations. Not that it can do any better XD

 

I use OSX. It's all I got at the moment. That and an almost 6 year old MacBook. xD

 

Windows 7 now but was XP for years.

 

Leopard on an 8 year old iBook G4.

boom.

 

I use Windows 7. The warranty on my laptop is running out, and I've been thinking about a Macbook, but then again, I like playing games and don't like paying inflated prices for hardware.

 

wich? wich?!

Y U NO USE SPELL CHECK!?

Anyway, Windows 7 for me... Can't stand Mac and it's limitations, it's an OKAY OS, but I wouldn't pay for it. Linux is a beautiful OS and wish it was more supported

 

I use windows 7 almost exclusively at the moment, but I will hopefully be getting a Dell inspiron mini soon and was vaguely considering doing an OSX86 installation on it, all my other attempts worked but were a bit rubbish and I can't afford to buy a real mac.
Oh and I also have an old laptop running puppy linux which I use from time to time haha.
Windows tends to be my favourite though, more due to familiarity than the merits of each individual OS though.

 

Windows 7 at the moment. I use Linux (Lubuntu) on my school laptop, although I've tried Xubuntu, Ubuntu 11.10 on there and I had Gentoo installed on it at one point for kicks.

 

Glad that we are all mature and this hasn't become a flame war. Anyhow to clarify there are games out for osx. Most of Steam's source engine games have been ported to mac; half life 2, half life 2 episode one, half life 2 episode two, left 4 dead 1, left 4 dead 2, tf2, css, portal 1, portal 2 and most of the gta games. Granted there is not as many game for Mac as Windows.

 

Mountain Lion 10.8 been Mac user since 2007 and Im still happy. If not poorer than I used to be.

 

Linux all the way! I don't even have WINE installed.

I stopped using Windows in 2007. I think I still have the install disc for Feisty Fawn around here somewhere.

After using Linux, I saw no need to go back to windows. I don't play new games, so that was moot.
Sometimes it takes a while to get something working, but it is very rewarding.

 

Favorite? Linux. Plug&Play most of the time, but if it's not, good luck. I wish the hardware makers would properly support it.
So i use Windows 7 for my daily stuff and Linux when i want to be geeky.
Surprised at the amount of Maclovers btw. Srsly?

 

Windows XP here everything runs on it

 

In all honesty, Windows

Why? I work for a living. At work, anyone who is anyone uses Windows. We dont' have time to faff about with Linux distros, nor does Mac OS X add any really compelling features for the high price of admission.


Windows. It's a standard.

 

I may use OSX but I LOVE my Windows Phone. Go figure.

 

Dual Booting Windows XP and Windows 7
I can run anything.

I hate MACS I dont know how to describe why I don't like them.
I've only used linux I few times so i don't know.

Id have an iphone over android if i could. I like them both a lot. Waiting for my contract to be up. I won't go near a windows phone.

 

People tend to forget that iOS is based on Mac OS X.

Anyway, I forgot to mention I dual-boot Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) and Windows 7.
