Which doesn't even take that much time.

Having to reformat your HD 3 times in a day is much more annoying (don't ask )

When I get a new PC, I'll install a Linux distribution on it.

I've used Linux before, and I think it's better than either Mac OS X or Windows.

Windows XP. I have a PC (obviously) and have never used Linux/don't want to mess around with it just yet, so it's the obvious choice.

Anything is better than any Mac OS.

And you're comparing Linux to Win 95. That's like comparing Windows 3.1 to OS2. xD

I use WinXP SP2 but th sexy look of Linux is awesome. Thank god for Window Blinds so I can make it look like Linux.

Macs look nice, but I hate them.

Windows Vista looks really awesome too tho......

Have you ever installed Mandrake? Very easy to set up there. I didn't like it, personally, but it was certainly easy. None of that serial number crap either.

My cousin installed a beta of it pretty recently and the HD with all his stuff crashed. So he had to re-install everything.

I won´t try that until I know it doesn´t screw up my computer.

I've tried Linux (Fedora Core 3), and it wasn't very fun to use at all...

Installing it was hard enough, since it wasn't very friendly with the screen and I couldn't tell what half of it was (the screen wasn't updating in parts for some strange reason) and a lot of times programs would crash or just not run right...

Then I switched to Win 2000. I never get a crash (unless RO crashes or something) and I've managed over 40 days before a power outage did me in

I've had very bad experiences with Macs (they really like to crash/freeze for no reason) so I tend to avoid them, and I don't like the style of that stupid little bar thing at the bottom and various other junk.

In short: I've grown accustomed to Windows 98 and above, hate XP because it takes forever to get to a usable point on a computer almost three times faster than this (800mhz vs >2GHz) and is just a pain to deal with through all of the stupid features they put in.


Very short: I <3 Windows 2000.

At home:
Windows XP home, no SP (1st partition)
Windows 2000 pro, no SP (2nd partition)

At collegue:
Fedora core 3 (1st account)
Debian (temporal account)

Linux is user friendly depending on the window manager used. As for me, the most comfy is KDE

My family has Windows 98 SE and Windows XP SP2. I like Windows XP SP2, because it's more secure (with SP2 and automatic updates), graphics are more fancier, and I never get BSODs with it, which are, to me, the horrors of the Windows 9x series. I like Windows 98 SE, because it's simple and classic. But I like XP SP2 better than 98 SE.

A beta of Windows? That's like a Pinto with no brakes or seatbelts.

A beta of Windows is just that - A BETA. It's not to be used for serious OS consideration, it's made for people to play around with until the real version is released.

And Xkeeper: I have Windows XP installed on a 450MHz laptop, and it runs faster than Win98 did on it. And I'm sure 2K would run no faster. If you keep the XP themes on, it's slower. But if you disable them, you get basically a more evolved version of Windows 2K.

I have WinXP SP2 and sometimes go in Knoppix 4.0 (Linux Live-On-Dvd)..
I found this Linux way easier then others.

I had installed this Vista beta on a new partition a few days ago and found it nice graphically, but way too slow for my computer. I mean even after playing with services.msc, explorer.exe did eat way too much ressources. Well It didn't took long for me to uninstalled it. I guess betas are like that anyway. I shall wait for the final product release.
