Who voted Windows? I WILL KILL YOU!

Linux IS the best and OS/2 WOULD BE EVEN BETTER if IBM would just hurry up =\

Cool I voted Windows too....

Windows is the best operating system, in my opinion.
I've only used Windows and Mac OS, so I don't know about any others.
Linux sucks!! (Lets see how many people I can aggravate by saying this, hehe)

Cool My reasoning for saying Linux Sucks

My reasoning is in parentheses right next to the statement.

i realize that win98 has bugs....thats natural with any program.....windows just has more than others

for the most part......the majority of games are designed for windows.....i have seen mac games......and maybe a small handfull of linux games.

also...keep in mind that pentiums can and do contribute to window's problems AMDs are soooo much better.....

I love the way Mac OS works. But there are less games for macs and stuff. Windows does everything I need.

I tried Linux (Corel), and it wouldn't work on my Conexant HCF V90 56K PCI Data Fax Modem thing.

Besides, most people are just biased against Microsoft because it's successful... that's why people say it sucks. It just happens to be one of the most successful companies in the world, if it's not the most successful company in the world.

Windows only seems to have 192873 bugs because people are looking for each little microscopic mistake, yet I bet that if you looked at Linux under the same microscope, it might have quite a few bugs as well. But no, it's all because we have to point out every little fault about Microsoft and everything they do or make.

It's bullshit.

Heh, back in like 1.2.something I connected to you with subseven. Didn't do anything though, just removed the server.

Cool Windows 2000 Professional

Here are some reasons why I like Windows 2000 Professional:

-MUCH better memory management than 98 and earlier
-Mouse doesn't blink when running Graal
-The nasty Windows Green has been replaced by a cool blue color

I will think of more later.

I have Windows 2000 Advanced Server Edition, Linux Mandrake, and Windows 98. I use windows 98 right now though because I can't find my Windows 2000 CD >.<

Windows 2k is less compatible then win98. And its purpose , to be a server, sucks compared to Linux.

Linux now has pretty good compability and most games like Quake and games like that are making or have Linux compability.
Btw, incase some of you dont know , Graal runs playerworlds off Linux

Do any of you chaps that are quick to mention Linux as the best OS actually run it on a box?
