Don't you think each operating system is specifically designed for some special purpose. For example, Windows focuses on home user with average computer skills. Wherein, a network administrator would die for Linux based OS.
Those who want 'fancy' stuff (IMHO) go with the Mac.
I can even predict the outcome of this poll - max. people are going to vote for Red Hat. However, from a regular, home user's point of view - I vote for Windows Vista (Now, how many enemies do I have? 😁 )

Indeed, it does depend on the purpose. Heck, even the Solaris OS is worth a look.
I'd love to see people's opinions, even though I predict some sort of linux distro will be common.

enemies++; 😀
It's really depends on your needs, everyone has special features for variety of uses, like for me personally (I'm not a PC gamer):
- Ubuntu : less virii, stability, free, WINE reduces my visits to Windows.
- Windows XP : Sony Vegas, Adobe After Effects.
- Windows Vista : CD/DVD drive usage some cool features 😁 (like deleting files from a CD-R)
- Mac OS : feel home! You don't find everything in your home but it's comfortable anyway 😀 vote.

I use XP sadly, however I vote for linux and mac. Vista is horrible and I don't like any microsoft products.

I use XP, but I do a lot of graphic design, so when it comes down to that, I use my iMac! That's originally what they were generally made for. My dad is self employed, and he does graphic designing with his iMac (we have two older models with OS X installed). He creates adds for the local news paper, and he makes decent money.

I am using the Hardy Edition of Linux i.e. Ubuntu 8.04. It is a nice OS, better than the XP, only problem some of the softwares I am used to on XP don't work.

Windows 2000 + XP are quite robust Microsoft OS's compared to Win 98 and Vista. Scheduled updates, virus scans and defragmenting, are enough to keep it running well. This is quite enough for a variety of uses, from beginner to advanced.
At the moment, most Linux distro's are suited towards advanced users. They are still not 'problem free' out of the box, but the community support make its up for that. Customization is also a big factor for migrating to Linux.

Biggie, why are you specifying Red Hat? 😛 Do you mean the commercial version?
There are so many Linux distros out there. I believe the three major free distro's that have large sponsors is Fedora (Red Hat), Ubuntu (Canonical) and openSUSE (Novell).

Ideally, Ubuntu should be there. But we don't have that option. I wonder still don't have any vote for it.
I like Ubuntu a lot. Its very good. Especially with that beryl thing { #-Link-Snipped-# } which CEan Xero introduced me to, uBuntu totally rocks!

Lol, Beryl is a chocolate company in Malaysia 😛 Argh, I'm craving for it so much 😔
Thats pretty cool stuff. openSUSE has some of those windows switching effects by default too. My fav is the cube rotation one 😛

Well, XP is the best operating system as it is compatible with most of the software applications.If you are using Internet(wired or wireless),then i think XP gives the flexibilty and is easy to connect.
For Home users XP is much much easier to underdstand and usable.
I can also give a concern to MAC as the wireless compatibilty is THE BEST in MAC.you will not encounter any problem with your wireless connections.

I would go with Windows 2000 professional. I have used XP and vista too... but didn't find it impressive. Not tried ubuntu though.

Ubuntu, straight up. Combine it with Wine and Crossover ... no need for XP 😀
If I have to pick a windows edition, its WinXP.
PS - The other has my vote.

i think for security purposes we can go with Red hat.. and it is opensource tooo ....... but for the PC(home) windows products are gently suitable and reliable ........
i think you all agree with this...

Why do my predictions always go wrong 😕 !
We've only 1 vote for RedHat and 6 votes for WinXP! 😲
Ubuntu should be an option!

In my reading,
Reliability: Mac/Linux, Vista, XP (All are pretty close)
Scalability: XP (All the others lag far behind)
Ease to use: Vista, XP, Mac, Linux
Easy to administer: Windows XP, Vista/Mac, Linux (Huge difference between them)
Security: Vista/Mac/Linux, XP
Overall for an average user: Vista

XP is the best operating system why?
1.Any operating system you need speed first.No one can have
better speed then xp.
2.versitility-you need to have an os which can run most of the softwares.XP
beats others in this aspect.

Windows XP rocks. The stability, the ease of operation, the looks, the performance, the COMPATIBILITY (vista fails to perform here), The speed to boot up and shut down, speed to read a CD(Vista fails to perform here too) ...this can only be found at Windows XP..no where else.
