I use Linux mostly because it is my server forr irc, and I have to interact with it cionstantly so that I can use diffrent applications on it to help support my website (which by the way is .04mb to big to install lol) I use Windows also because many applications are made for WIndows and it has an okay gui. Macs are just used because they have supieror graphics. But they are also used because most people think that no one has a mac so they are virus free. (Tangent Alert) I got a Dell, 80 gigs, XP Home, and I tried to run defrag, but it said I had to run chkdsk it said that i had to restart my computer so all my apps weren't running. So then it runs before the OS boots up, and everyone time unless I cancel it, it just restarts and goes into a loop. (End) So my favorite would have to be Winux, its Linux with a windows emulator

I mainly use Linux on my laptop since I need to carry it around school and it's stable so when I'm taking notes, I don't need to worry about BSOD or sudden reboots like on Windows. I use Windows on my desktop since I'm not going to bother dual booting anymore since it's taking me too much of my time to maintain it.

I use windows, i really want to start using linux, but i think im waiting till windows longhorn comes out, and then buy new hardware for that OS b/c its supposed to be momory and speed hungry, and then ill build a new computer for that and ill install linux in the one i am currently using.
