Ok, I'll get the ball rollin ,Windoze by Micro$oft
Currently using XP 64 bit ,previously Xp pro 32bit,win 2000,win 98SE because I am running home built PC (x86 architecture) with 4GB of ram (32bit only uses 3.25GB max) & I am one of those point & click users (Dumbass) :rnade: who can't do more than ipconfig from a command line,so without a GUI I am up the proverbial creek without a paddle.
Main use is music,old games,web,watching vid's (I know what your thinking,learn to use it properly ) & light amount of d/l'ing.
So I have been procrastinating about an O/S upgrade & I saw an interesting post with a reply by cake on how nix is different on page 4 . :?

So,I get one of those terrible ideas & think, "get a second HDD & run a dual boot"(I know,you don't need a physical second drive but when it's screws your MFT,you think,second drive,too easy),but nix users are the kind of users who can write their own drivers & often find they need to(or at least that used to be the case) & as I mentioned previously, GUI FTW !!!
My family run up to 5 different machines on an internal network that use windoze so I must have a win O/S for compatibility but a second O/S for tinkerin & the opportunity to learn something new does have it's appeal.
But,I am interested in any O/S mac/win/nix whatever,BUT be sure to explain what version & WHY !!!!!!!!!!!
