Operating systems Wars!

I've not seen a thread posted like this on here yet, let's begin the battle and see who comes out on top. Round one is going to be desktops, laptops with a full operation system. If you post a choice that is dependent on apps, it does not count. I will start first, my OS's of choice is Windows and Linux. They perform better over all and they don't cost a lot of money (Unlike Macs), which are way over priced and under powered. The lack of options is something that is concerning. I'll give Apple credit, they do make a nice looking product, but the OS is the major problem with them.
I meant to say Choices, it won't let me correct the typo. Does anyone know how to correct that?

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Thank you for fixing it, that was annoying the hell out of me.

Windows. While it's not perfect, it's the right balance of complexity, opportunities, and cost for me.

Almost exclusively Linux, I feel like I'm partially disabled whenever I have to use win... I have dual boot on everything for ms office and drm type stuff

Windows is like computing through porridge. So slow.
I use Linux for work, Windows for pleasure (games) and a man for opening jars.
Agree about being partially disabled when working on Windows. So many things I'd like to do but can't.

And patronizing and unprofessional. I can'd do shit in Windows without something popping up or it deciding to spontaneously restart while I'm in the middle of something. I would never use it on stage for instance. With Linux, when it's running, it's running, and does what it is supposed to do, one month nonstop if necessary. Not to mention that I write almost everything in LaTeX, and that's just no fun under Windows.

The best operating system is the one that works for the individual user. For most people that's the one that they can deal with.

Windows, Linux, Android, and BSD, depending on the task requirements. I'd prefer to not use Windows at all but some software I need / want to use requires it, as does work.
