I like and have used all three, but (for now 4/13/08) I gotta go with Mac. Windows always took too much work to keep it up and running and Linux took me a lot of time to do anything. Mac gave me the best of both worlds
Now I will most likely never feel Win. is the best for me but if I get a second lap/desk top to play with I will give Linux another try, my first run with Linux puppy was an attempt to make an old laptop live again (insert manic laughter here) so it was not a "normal" run

Linux is great i am dual booting with XP/Ubuntu 7.1 and my other laptop is Vista/Ubuntu 7.1 and my laptop at home is Ubuntu 7.1 Server. Only reason I am keeping Windows around is because of the online games I play. They are able to play WoW through Wine but Final Fantasy Xi they still cant get to work. the day they get FFXI to work on Linux will be the day I leave windows forever

Results not suprising when the poll is in the Linux section.
If you voted windows, please leave the forum :P
Macs are OK, at least you can put Linux on them

Isn't this a "yes" or "no" question? is Solaris 10 Linux or not?

Actually I use both Linux & Windows, however Linux is the better of the two & always will be.

So, you prefer your Lear Jet to Windows, Linux, or Mac OS?
