I love making my computers, and gaming, so that puts macs out for me.

I like programming and just basically fooling around wtih computers, so I love linux.

and of course i love windows, i need to game.

Although its the system I use at home, I don´t like Windows. I´m getting used now to Linux and I suppose that if I could deal with all the compatibility issues, I would use only Linux... games aren´t a big problem because I don´t play too much and anyway, a partition with Windows would be fine.

I also like Macintosh... I´m into web design and Mac has been for ages a standard in that with programs like Quark Xpress or Freehand. Besides, I hate the fact that Windows is a copy of previous O.S of two computers: Macintosh and Amiga. I´d really love that Microsoft went bankrupt.

A few years ago I switched to Linux because windows 98 had so many bugs.

But now windows xp seems to run a lot better so I switched to xp about a year ago and I love it.

I use windows. When I first used computer it was DOS, then unix during my college. But when I started working I had to work on windows, which seems very easy for me, because earlier I have not used windows.

So, I prefer windows for its simplicity, eaisily understandability and nothing more I expect from it, because when security and other issues come to play it may bother for a professional personal but for a common user, who does not know about these technicalities, it is really good.

I have tried Linux, but I have still not got a good reason why to use Linux instead of Windows

Regarding MacOS, neither I have never used it nor I have seen this.

heepa....
try nice Darwin embedded OS-X... somemore, Apache 1.33 is there..yo wont need to care about how to install the famous Apache.. just grab PHP and MySql...then u are there already.. so yo can play around or even yo can host for urself... i thought Apple intended to let all home user to host for themselve.. when the internet, ip techonology improve in secriuty issue and all ISP provide for all port of ur desktop open... then there will be nobody who looking for host over net..
yo know miniMac, nice, silent, cheap, OS-X inside.. so u can host for urself, ur own-server, wanna open for how long... that is.. when compare to big Desktop casing, running some other OS.. trouble-shooting all those sever software stuffs.. noisy huuh
it's nice....thy OS-X
p.s. normally ppls thought that Mac for Audio/Vedio/Graphic professional but one highlight is that nowaday OS-X embedded Apache!! so every Mac desk can be server for ur own host... that what they meant to those big Giga,Meg sizes to let audio,vedio pro host themselve, i thought but unfortunately, most audio/vedio pro lacking knowledge in web delvelopment fields, so.....the idea is WIP

I use Windows XP not totally happy about it but I'm going to buy a Mac. I need it to run some programs.

I am about to switch to Kubuntu Linux because I hate windows. But I will use an emulator called Wine, to emulate Photoshop and My Macromedia apps. (Macromedia just got bought for 3.4 billion by Adobe!)

If I had the money, I would use a mac. But I dont, so I will just make do with linux.

If you're going for maximum compatibitly, go for Windows.

If you're going for maximum comfort and cool graphics, go for Macs

If you're going for maximum results and affordablility, go for Linux.

I use all three.

I use Windows XP on my main pc with dual boot with Ubuntu horay and Windows 2003 Enterprise Server on my second pc.

I like Windows, but I like Linux more. Let's wait for the compability to go further

I use Windows for my graphics applications, games, etc.
but i'm thinking of buying a Mac for the graphic side of things.
i've had windows long enuf and use photoshop often enough that the difference in speed will be a real bonus factor. --once i get used to the Mac.
