Which is the best?

I think my list will be

1 PC
2 Linux
3 Mac

simply because PCs support more hardware and can play all the major games out there, fits me perfectly. Linux? Free, and price matters! why i put mac at bottom? supports ZERO programs (almost) and even WMW is prooven superior to Imovie somehow...I have tried macs, i think the latest version but im not sure, and it was annoyingly difficult to make it to whaty i want. All it could do was basic search adn open files, i could not check what my system specs were, atleast it was hella difficult to find out. And the "huge" list of games, well, games for PC that were out like 2-5 years earlier. I think macs are made for old people that do not know how to operate a computer properly and can pay twice the price of a PC. I am talking Win7. In my case, my computer is mroe powerfull than any mac out there. makes computer WAY better, a high end PC is at the price of a mid-end Mac, and i get better performance, 7 FOR THE WIN!!

i like the macs a bit better than pc's.
You don't have to install a new antivirus every week... And you also have the option to have both apple and windows on a mac. Who wants more than that?
As for linux, i never really liked it...

I run windows without any AV, now i got avast for free and stuff...I run windows XP, Windows vista, Windows 7, Kubuntu, ubuntu without any problems. The thing is that my hardware isn`t apple, made, and Mac only supoport nVidia and Intel hardware, a big killer...

PC = Personal Computer
PC does NOT mean Windows.

I hate Mac, love Windows and Linux.

Sometimes I have problems with Linux, sometime with Windows, but I always manage to get by the problems without much hassle. Though with Mac.......*puke*, the UI is so crappy and hard to deal with, and it's very confusingly and illogically structured.

Well, linux and windows is like a tie...but really linux is better...
mac...is really nothing, but I do like the...well some of the stuff.
and yes, PC does not mean Windows...

PC = personal computer but reffers to a windows based computer, just like MAC doesn`t mean OSX, MAC = OSC based computer

and linux is just a OS...

too bad all the win emus doesn`t work very well..

donno bout the "speedy rendering" on macs though...it seems heavilly overated since windows based comps doesn`t need Intel and nVidia components to work, i can get my performance through the roof, unliek with macs.

ultifd · « **Reply #6 on:** 19 June 2010, 18:42:11 »

That's being generalistic though...right?

Anyways, linux and windows FTW!...
Mac...I got nothing to say. Although we need support for it for MG and GAE, but that's all...

Gabbe · « **Reply #7 on:** 19 June 2010, 18:45:16 »

mhm i forgot to mention FreeBSD, best server OS if you ask me..

ultifd · « **Reply #8 on:** 19 June 2010, 18:48:13 »

Well, if we are being generalistic, that is falling to the "linux" category right?

Oh, yeah, it is awesome.

I think there are others that are better though, forgot...

true, but... who cares about macs...

... hmm...
For people who got Windows 7, do you like it? Best things about it?
I like XP and 7 the most...
and...Ubuntu is the best, right? I tried it once and it was awesome...

Gabbe · « **Reply #13 on:** 19 June 2010, 19:02:45 »

win7? confusing at first, coz never tried it, good features overall, and best? faster than vista! I still use vista though...im familiar wiht it..and on my machine it runs smooth belive it or not, 5.9 score..

John.d.h · « **Reply #14 on:** 19 June 2010, 19:07:55 »

I only used Windows 7 on my netbook long enough to make a bootable USB to install Ubuntu, and I haven't looked back since.

yeah but comon....it is not like every OS is ment for laptops or/and netbooks, Funny is, Linux is often considered a server OS and thats like the opposite of your machine.

True, but it is also a good... OS for desktops, netbooks, and laptops... but true, true.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Linux is the only one that is. Well, certain flavors of it anyway. I've actually found regular Ubuntu to be much better on my netbook than Ubuntu Netbook Remix, because the weird menu thingy adds all kinds of resource-hogging graphical stuff.

lolz, there should be the opposite then, anyone knows the best Linux OS for desktops high end? I`ve wondered about trying arch idk though...

I'm loving windows 7, vista had its issues for me which all seem to be resolved in 7, well it's still no where near perfect but I like to have the latest stuff living life on the edge! Linux is good but I know with windows 7 I've got the latest stuff as dodgy as the latest stuff can be surely Microsoft has put a lot into windows over the years, hence it being the most popular and thus the most targeted by viruses/hackers, etc. If you look at OSs like bodies though, the more viruses thrown at them that they eventually recover from the more resistant to viruses they become in the future, win7 is so virus prone because there's so many out there after it, who the hell would waste time making a mac virus?! If there was a sudden rise in viruses for mac then I think it may have a lot more issues once exploited becoming very dangerous. Most of the win7 viruses out there are crap anyway, it's generally a case of task manager, find the process, open file location, end process delete, sometimes they block task manager and regedit so just use safe mode, most virus come from 'free anti virus software' or 'free registry cleaners' another crap like that which basic users tend to fall for (most basic users are windows users).
I've tried mac and I've tried to kill myself after! I hate how incompatible it is with everything else, it's got to be apple or it wont work, but now mac machines can support windows but why the hell would you pay so much for a mac where you can buy pc/notebook at half the price with equal hardware and as an extra bonus the mac OS is already deleted for you! There are ways to get mac running in windows too for those deranged people out there

.
<end-mac-hate/>
Windows 7 all the way and any vista users should definitly upgrade making sure they can get all the drivers first (mainly if moving from 32bit to 64bit). Also there's XP mode which you can buy Ultimate for or there is a work around to get it running on home premium.

For me, vista have no virus or bluescreen....obivously...all mac fans reffers to the early test version of "snowball"...I`ve got a virus on vista once...and then i was certain i downloaded software packed with it, i just wanted to test my new AV

wyvern · « **Reply #22 on:** 21 June 2010, 16:21:24 »

I use windows vista on this lap top and I have windows xp on my desktop, both are fine for me, on the other hand I hope to get a lap top with linux, mac sucks as an OS

Omega · « **Reply #23 on:** 21 June 2010, 16:46:10 »

Windows 7 works great. 2 months of it on my new computer, no troubles, crashes, lags, or anything. Linux would take second, will install Kubuntu once I get the courage. Mac...? *fail*

ultifd · « **Reply #24 on:** 22 June 2010, 00:28:36 »

I like Windows 7. if I can't then XP...then if not, ubuntu.
