    I run Vista. The most annoying thing about it is that it causes my Mac-fanatic friends and Linux-fanatic friends to flip out every time they get near my computer.

    More or less. The Mac-fanatic has developed a tolerance, since he had to, because we're roommates, but right now his MacBook Pro is being repaired, so he's been forced to use my computer to do schoolwork. Whenever something is less than intuitive, "I blame Microsoft."

    He doesn't seem to have a problem with it when he's using it to play the UT3 demo though....

    I can't wait for tomorrow... the new operative system is coming for mac, 10.5 (Leopard). I will be one of the first in Denmark to try it off. Btw, I would say that mac is better than microsoft, when you want a secure system, with no viruses, and its also better to make homework on with the new iWork ´08. I mean, you can do things with it, that the office packs can't do if you don't but the wary expensive office pack. But if you just need a computer to play computer games on, then choose that PC. Because you can get a lot more games to a PC than you can get to a Mac, even though many companies has started to make the games both for mac and PC.

    I am the Mac-fanatic Neon speaks of. The "less than intuitive" features were mostly centered around me being unable to edit files I had permission to edit, and also some weird printer errors.

    At least the UT3 Demo worked when I used it. If it functions properly under normal operations, I don't care who made it! I also used it to play Portal and a little HL2, and I had no trouble. Apparently Windows is more suited to playing games than running word processors.

    After finishing that project, I swore never to use Windows again. Unfortunately, I have failed to avoid it. The infestation is everywhere! (Last usage: at Universal Studios, to access their fingerprint scan lockers. One of the terminals was messed up, and one of the employees exited to Windows to restart the application.)

    On a side note, I have no trouble using Linux, and I have used it regularly in the past. Only Windows ever gives me grief.

    Oh, and I have a MacBook, not a Pro.

    Windows 3.1 was /fail (that would be considered 'other;) rofl it crashed when bill gates was showing it rofl saktes
    Xp gets my vote, one of the best OS version Microsoft has made.
    Pros
    Very user friendly and nice UI
    Most things work on it, games, software, etc.
    Cons
    The only one would be viruses but that would be for every Windows OS, since so many people want to virus Microsoft :(
    Vista sucks way too much memory :( but specs keep betting better, but still :(
