I use Windows most of the time. Windows XP was okay and Windows 7 is okay. Windows 8 I like less than Windows 7 even after adding the Start Menu via a utility, but in time it may grow on me.
I like MacOS X but have not used it enough to find things I love/hate about it. Same with Linux. So I can't say which is best, though I've got to give props to the guys who made the GEOS for the Commodore 64 way back in... 1987 or whenever it was. They put a graphical UI and turned my 9-pin dot-matrix printer into a graphics output machine and they did it in 38k of memory.
Maybe if I'd had a chance to use an Amiga in those days, that would be the best OS. It offered preemptive multitasking in 256K of memory, and... *chokes up*

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
