The 'peoples choice' is Windows. Discerning users look at Debian.

Windows 7 64 bit. Masochists use Linux.

I think this is a baiting thread
If you know your way around linux then you will probably install that. If you don't you will install Windows.

If you genuinely don't know the answer to the question - you need to go on a learn direct course on how to use a computer. Then install windows.

Cheers people, and what Windows OS should I get? XP, Vista or Windows 7?

Shouldn't that have been your original question? After all, you did want the 'peoples choice'.

I love XP so have a dual boot where I can pick to either load up Windows XP or Windows 7 they are both good.

Stay well clear of Vista

Thanks everyone, will XP run Office 2010? Have seen several brand new, unopened Windows XP discs on a certain auction site we all love to hate
