Please choose what your favourite OS is, and why you like it better than the rest. 
let me start by saying that my favourite is XP.......I have Vista and XP as a dual boot option.
However, the more I like Vista the better I feel comfortable with it - and naturally some stuff doesnt work anymore with XP.......so I use both - but XP slightly has the edge.
Ive used Ubuntu (linux) never quite felt comfortable with it, couldnt understand alot of it - or how to get things set up to work.
Never used Windows 7 or seen it been used.

Please don't flame me.... but I love my OS X. I never thought I would be a Mac convert but I am.
I am also a fan of Windows 7 though, it's made my media PC very happy.0 -
cant believe I forgot about the Mac Users......shows that the OP is windows biased
Sorry!
Ive only heard good things about windows 7......might give it a try 0 -
Why is there no Mac OS X on the list?
Five times more people use it than Linux.
Anyhow, Mac OS X is fast, very easy to use, it doesn't annoy me straight out of the box, and it looks pretty.
