I personally hate windows. I moved to Linux when i was in my teens, even though I am only 24 now but I was in high school when I finally discovered Linux.

First of all, which Linux? There are hundreds of distros.
Second, anything you can get from your dad, you can get from the Internet. Third, MACS ARE PRETTY. BLASPHEMY!
let me tell you about the differences btwn windows and linux.
Windows; Windows was primarly created for end users usage. Therefore, it was build with extensive support for gaming, graphic and sound. Also, friendliness as also a big concern in windows. Linux/*nix family Primarly created to serve. Used for servers such as web, telnet, fileserver and irc. Therefore, it was built with extensive stability and network support. With that reason, i would like to say that there are no "the best OS". The question needed to be answered is "What do you want to use it for". Gaming-then windows might be your choice. Web Servers-then linux is the best option.
Gawd. Stop talking as if Linux is a OS. There are hundreds of distros! Haven't you ever heard of Games Knoppix?
QUOTE Stop talking as if Linux is a OS. What do you mean by that, Linux is more OS than Windoze is.
i agree with "wanhafizi" there isnt a best OS only what you want to use it for. theyre are hundreds or thousands of lunix distros about on the internet use for all sorts of purposes.
That's very obvious but Windows XP is way to go for home users as most programs are built to work with this OS.I agree that is built with many security flaws but Microsoft is taking measures to correct that but it is too late as they have already earned themselves a bad image in front of the world.They have entered the antispyware market by purchasing GIANT Antispyware, gave it a new name and interface and about to force their way into the antivirus market agressively by integrating both security software into SP2's Windows Security Center, which will benefit us but not antivirus/antispyware vendors.If you are still using SP1, April 12th will be the last day you can see it since Microsoft will be forcing all internet enabled computer using XP OS to be automatically updated to SP2 whether you want it or not.
QUOTE If you are still using SP1, April 12th will be the last day you can see it since Microsoft will be forcing all internet enabled computer using XP OS to be automatically updated to SP2 whether you want it or not. Source please. If those bastards do that, they have a MAJOR problem  ... Btw. I don't believe they can force me, since microsoft.com is blocked by my router. So it doesn't even reach the server forcing the upgrades.Anyway, if it comes out, i'll make a fix 
my personal opinion is that windows sucks and i only have xp on this comp and all my others i run linux and i love it
QUOTE What do you mean by that, Linux is more OS than Windoze is. because linux is http://kernel.org which is basically a huge set of drivers, and very low level software. preety much useless to most people on its own. linux only becomes usefull when its paired up with a totally unrelated porject http://GNU.org Origonaly, all us linuxers would have been using GNU/Hurd. but the Herd Kernel was far from finished, so som clever individuals started using the GNU operating system, but with a different kernel, the Linux kernel. Linux started life as a *sit in* while Hurd was finished... but linux was such a huge sucess, that GNUHurn never really made it. but their are plenty of other threads discussing this topic lets try not to repeat ourselves.

More software is free for linux, it is hard to find something decent that is free for windows, because most developers wants to make money like MS, which i know, who dont want to make money, but why not create good software that is free.
QUOTE (daniwood @ Mar 3 2005, 05:33 PM)  I prefer Windows XP because is easier than Linux. But, Linux has yours advantages Linux all the way......
For easier working and installing stuff the best choice is XP, but for hacking and virus-free is Linux. I hated Linux cos i doesn't supports .exe files, but then i found out WineHQ (Windows Emulation for Linux) and i started using it for a while. Then i found out the BackTrack 3, the Linux edited with hacking tools. I've used it for hacking WiFi
Yeah, XP is lot more easier than linux. Coz it has wide range of compatible applications which meet your needs and also you are used to it for a long time. So switching to a new OS will be difficult. That's why you think Linux is difficult and XP is not. I like the Ubuntu way!
QUOTE (TBCKiller @ Jun 19 2009, 08:22 PM) ok the errors it have errors so what nothing is perfect  Errors or not errors, that's the question. Linux tries to be error-free, and a lot of people in the open-world work for correcting the errors. Windows has a lot of errors, and standard users have to cope with it. Yesterday my Windows XP connected easily to my GPS. Today it refuses. Such is life : probably new updates have come and the old things do not work any more. Who cares ? Crosoft does not care. If I have a windows problem, somebody somewhere could have a look inside the Linux codes and find the solution, just for fun. Nobody will fix a Windows problem if I am the only looser affected by that.
