Re: The best OS?

I don't have any problems with my 27 in iMac. Its fine and games are being ported to OSX anyway. I have trouble using a windows computer because of how hard it is to find files.

What's so hard about finding files in Windows?

Re: The best OS?

It depends on the situation.

If you just want a general purpose computer, a Mac is generally better.

If you are a geek, Windows is generally better.

Haven't tried Linux.

Re: The best OS?

Windows 7 is the best. I never really was a fan of Mac OS. OS X Lion seems awesome, though.

Re: The best OS?

Soon I know this is going to be a "Mac vs. PC" topic. My favorite OS is Win 7, though Mac OS is growing on me. I also like Ubuntu, but I just prefer to use Windows.

Re: The best OS?

I LIKEZ MACOS9  big_smile   big_smile   big_smile

Serious, it has BOLO!!!!!!!!

I use MACOSX!

Also, MACs DO HAVE XCODE which is AWESOME.  The only thing I dislike about it is...  NOTHING!!!  You can run windows on it(legally).  AND you can use mono/wine/etc. to run .exe's.  It is illegal to run a MAC simulator on windows.

Yeah, I'm mostly inactive.  I check in once in a while though.  If you want to contact me, I have a contact form at my website, http://escratch.org

Re: The best OS?

Hey, where's ReactOS?!

And what about the DSi Os?!

Why I like ReactOS:

Little to no viruses. Not as confusing as Linux/Unix.

Why I like the DSi OS:
Um, it runs on the DSi and nothing else does.  tongue

Re: The best OS?

There is not a "better" OS. It's all based upon what you want out of one; the end user experience.

However, if your looking for me to pick one, Win7 + Ubuntu 10.10. Unity isn't the best, there's a few kinks to iron out.

I agree. It's also slow on older hardware compared with Gnome.

Re: The best OS?

Random OS (mine.)

A real OS? I would go with widows for some things, mac for others. I don't know about linux because I have never even seen a linux computer.

Re: The best OS?

Linux really can do anything you want to do exept play specific commercial games. It is very versatile, and really if you use the right version anyone can use it without difficulty.

I'm not saying that all Mac users aren't geeks, and all Windows users are.

It's just Windows has a lot more software available (though the Mac catalog is growing).

Re: The best OS?

Ubuntu Linux rocks!  tongue

Yeah I code a lot of things in different programming languages.

The disadvantage is that most programs are for Windows and Mac (at least Scratch isn't!  smile )
but everyone uses Wine, it's used to load Windows Program, and it works! But: Ubuntu can't catch viruses. The people who make them use Ubuntu.   tongue

I vote for Linux!
