Well XP Pro for me. I have tried every other windows flavor, and this is the best all around OS for me. I have never tried Linux, but I have Red Hat lying about somewhere I am going to put on a machine to see how it goes. The only thing I don't like about it already is the lack of software, drivers, and ect trhat you have with winderz.
Played a little with Mac, but was already into windows, prolly a bias opinion that's my 0.02cents

Oh come on...where's DOS? (or MS or otherwise)

...and OS/2 Warp, regular 'ol UNIX, Windows NT, Solaris, OS/400.

Ah, I'm giving ya a hard time. I wouldn't pick any of those anyways...although I do kinda miss old DOS.

But my choice would be Win2000. I don't know if Win2000 and XP should really be in the same catagory for your poll however.

Do we really need another "favorite OS" poll?

I still have to give the edge to Win98SE for person use. I find myself using WinXP more and more, and while it's basically trouble free like Win98, I don't just don't care for the new user interface, especially the fancy visuals.

you can always turn them off, but then it looks just like 2k, which leads you to think "why the hell did I pay 300 bucks for this?"
