I think Windows 2000, because its more stable than Windows XP. XBOX is using a modified version of Windows 2000 as well.
If Linux had more commercial games, I'll vote for Linux. xboxrulz |

I reckon windows XP is the best gaming platform, it is a little resource heavy i.e. Huge wallpapers, all those viruses etc using up resourses but if used on a resonable gaming computer it works a treat. Also windows XP has a much better looking interface which i have become akin to.

i highly recommend windows 2000. its more stable than xp and it is purely built for gaming but if win98 is in the part of the list i recommend win98 and but if you have linux i think it is the best for gaming because of its stability!!

Windows XP is built based on Windows 98 and Windows 2000. It has the stability of Windows 2000 with the functions of Windows 98. This also includes a modified Blue Screen of Death.

I am a big *nix fan and even knowing the fact there are realy cool games for the *nix platform the fact is that windows still beats us when it comes to gaming.
But thats more the fault of the devolopers as the platform, Look at ID-software for instance they provide the linux corner also with installers for there games so doom3 and many more wil run nativly on a *nix platform. I sure wished more game-devolopers would do this.. True you can try things like wine, cedega and so on but it would be nicer if it runned native on the platform.. |

Windows XP, not because its the best OS but because most games are made windows-only. Simple but true. I believe the UT2003 was ported to linux but I don't know of any other high-quality games on other platforms then windows. Sad but true. Would have switched to linux long ago if more games were ported to it.

Would have switched to linux long ago if more games were ported to it.  A few ported games (as in run nativly in linux) return to castle wolfenstein (and mods) quake 1, 2, 3 (and mods) starcraft UT (all verions) Tribes 2 Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Railroad Tycoon II Heroes of Might and Magic SoF 1 &2 Heavy Gear Medal of Honor All have been ported to linux, there are more see http://www.tuxgames.com/ So its not only UT2003 as you can see now... |
