Windows will win i think, they own like 90 some precent of the market, and with LongHorn coming out, if it ever does... It will be inovating, and everybody will want to get it, with "improved secority." I think that most people use windows, because they dont know about other OS, they might not even know what OS means
 but, for those that are into computers and technology, we know whats best, and i would think Linux is. I really dont like the interface of Mac, ive never liked it. And i dont like the secority issues of Windows, and windows has more security issues, b/c its the most used, its the OS which most hackers want to attack. So that is why i would go with Linux, although it will take a while for it to get better known among an "unexperienced" computer user. |

Yeh, I really wanna powerbook, but they are so expensive, even if i were to cheap out and get an ibook, that will cost me over £800 for the specs. I would want...its not fair!!! Why can't they make a cheap MAC? I think they would overtake windows based computer sales if only they could get the price down...they are the superior computer...and the superior programs and the O.S. is better, THE INTERFACE IS WONDERFUL!!! who said it was bad??? @)

Well, I voted windows. It's the OS I use, because many programs doesn't work on anything else that Macintosh. Also, I don't experience many problems in Windows, and I don't really understand why people says that windows has soooooooooo many problems... Of course, there are more bugs in windows than in mac, but I don't care, I can't use Mac, since everything is made for windows...

I'd still go with Windows XP - it's has been the best Windows OS to date - it's built for networking, security, media and much more.
Admittedly, though, MAC OSX does look nice, the features on it are cool (namely, the iLife suite) and it's easy to use...plus you can switch between several languages with just a few clicks. |

I've used Windows XP the most, so I have to vote for it. My opinion may be biased to some degree for this. XP has so many problems with it that I just detest, but it works with the things I use. OS X is absolutely superb from what I've heard, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with Macs. They're incredibly stable, fast, and reliable. PCs have a lot of catching up to do. I've used Linux as well, but I prefer the eye-candy GUI.

Yes this sounds impressive but the answer is very easy, Windows XP will win eventually. Mac OS may be very impressive in all areas but they are not common man friendly in terms of price in particular. And price will count alot as long as the standard of life of netizens in the world continue this way. It also said stable and compatible but since many users are using Windows and some games and even many softwares are not meant for Mac. They are not available. In such situation I think Windows will continue to dominate. With Windows Longhorn around, Mac OS may be threatened more. Even though many people hate Microsoft, its just an irony that they are using Microsoft and its products. It rather sounds funny to me. MS deserves what they are today. So, Windows will win. |

there is no win or lose here
MAC already won when it comes to an OS for computer noobs and looking pretty windows won for being the most widespread because of reasons I still cannot comprehend after 7 years of computers study. But I use it too... Linux won because it is the most reliable OS and is used on the majority of servers. None of them lost. |
