What's the Best OS for Data Storage and Stability?

[emewify]

windows is not your only choice when it comes to pc gaming. linux + wine works great

[ShadowEater120880]

@emewify Native Linux games exist too. Penumbra and Urba Terror kick ass

[emewify]

@ShadowEater120880 exactly i dont know why i watch this guys videos when i dont respect his opinion.. half the time it seems like hes talking out of his ass

[4tun3dBACK]

I have a dual boot with ubuntu 10.04 and windows 7.....I use windows mostly for gaming

[techbeast34]

@MrTVshowclips I'm sorry, but just because you got dropped on the head as a baby does not mean you can be an ass, unless you have Tourettes Syndrome, which i bet that you are going onto urban dictionary to find out what it means.

[qiplayer]

windows xp

[allboeing]

Mac OSX All the way

[MrTvshowclips]

this guy is a fucken fag and knows nothing at all i hope his youtube account gets hacks

[xPreatorianx]

@MrTvshowclips

And your a low life troll.... Your point being?

[bambinosto]

@MrTvshowclips see now this guy no more about computers than you ever will and this guy got some off the best white hat hackers in the world in he's community so trying hacking this would been hard he could clap and you're pc would burn down

[triplesquarednine]

@MrTvshowclips LOL!!! i totally agree. but i think of him as more of a duche bag.

[Edge0fPain]

KDENLive wins against Sony Vegas Pro and it's free.... And for Linux.... People just don't bother searching. They rely on other people's opinions, make them their own, then become fanboys....

[psptheshow]

LINUX

[MrTvshowclips]

@psptheshow Ubuntu is the best i would only use windows 7 but if that was not around ubuntu it is

[67576856666478964567]

@zachygd

Macs suck compared to GNU/Linux.

[Edge0fPain]

@67576856666478964567

*coughs* similar kernal *coughs*

[67576856666478964567]

@Edge0fPain

Similar kernel has absolutely nothing to do with the overall desktop experience. Also, BSD and Linux are not very similar when you take into account they are written completely independently of each other with different goals in mind. Similar means nothing.

Macs suck compared to GNU/Linux, in my opinion.

[Edge0fPain]

@67576856666478964567

Fair play.

[TheMuffinManshow]

Windows 2000 hands down.

[woomis]

He answered my question on my wedding day :)

[ebrak47]

As a MacHead, I don't trifle with technicalities and what's compatible. There is no need to. Windows OS created the nerd.

[nakedvolleyball]

Vista 7 ain't have bad...toe b honest. But you can install ubuntu on anything...I fucking installed it on my neighbor's fillings.

[007pyroman]

vista 7? fucking retard

[nakedvolleyball]

And the community experience with a mac is that you get a lot of queers fawning over your hardware at coffee sops. Damn, I gotta get on a sexy chatr tonight, I'm gonna lose my shit.

[nakedvolleyball]

Oh yeah, I'm sure that you have a ton of bitches following you. Dood, get off the high hourse...you're not so popular. And what kind of computer is that? It looks liek a fag book, but I can't be sure.

[hdaboliv]

Hey Chris, I use Windows 7, Snow Leopard, Linux... and still use Eudora 7... it's not that bad actually :)

[nelizmastr]

for safety of storage and stability.... I'd choose Vista Ultimate (with sp1 or sp2, not sp0), or 7 Ultimate

[burleymullins]

well my desktop was running windows xp professional, and maybe i just ended up with a particularly buggy copy, i mean i still like xp and do enjoy using it, but for my OS i switched to Ubuntu and have been loving it.

[krauser979]

Best os windows 7 lol

[ssssroryssss2]

Am I the only person who thinks that ubuntu is complete pain in the arse?

[resellworld]

no,.....you are not alone

[v8supercarstv]

You are not alone.

[nakedvolleyball]

If ubuntu has been sticking something in your ass, I woudl have to agree.

[HaysDonald]

Chris should make a test available for people to take that would help them choose.

[tranmere789]

Linux is has good security, stability and it's free. While Windows has millions of malwares and they have estimated that some 80% of computers with Windows OS have at least one malware.

So make you own choice. I've done my own.

[Intellmac]

windows 95

[krauser979]

damn straight i dun care if this comment is 4 months old lol

[jimruthless]

I never have seen someone talked so long but with nothing to say.

[mixxmexx]

@jimruthless he's on one of those ego trips - he actually think he's interesting..

[67576856666478964567]

@jimruthless

He would need to know what he was talking about in order to actually say something.

[damoos]

Solaris

[Membrane556]

I had good luck using mac and linux for a server.

Best thing to use for a home file server get a network server appliance such as an NSLU2 or DNS323 and back up the main HD.

They're reliable and use a fraction of the energy of a pc so you can leave it on.

[dragonballz0]

at 12:30 minutes

[dragonballz0]

At 13:00 minutes "mike" enters a statement of "186" (meaning processor type) which doesn't nor it ever existed. Goes to show you how knowledgeable some people chatting with him are.

Most are very knowledgeable, "Mike" is questionable. Before the 286 processor, it was called "x86" not 186. lol

[dragonballz0]

at 12:30 actually

[Membrane556]

Actually there was an 80186 but it never caught on much outside of the tandy 2000 and various embedded boards.

It was really was just an 8086 with a few extra commands and some support chips integrated in the same package.

Turbo 8088 clones and the 80286 proved more popular.

What he was referring to likely was the 8088 or 8086.

[birdlives2000]

Data being corrupted has more do to with what kind of hdd you have and what file system you use. Not the operating system

[thadaran]

what would be best for; gameing school and makeing videos and internet (MSN, surfing etc)

[DavidPlim]

windows definatly

[stonecoldsteven]

i agree with windows for gaming, but video stuff a Mac would better suit. and all operating systems are great for the web.

[Cetiricrno]

Mac OSx gameing school will end up using programs like maya and houdini you will need computing power get a good mac lots of ram good video card you will need an program called paralels which will let you run both mac osx and windows.

[blazerrips91]

okay whats the best os for eye candy tool bars docks etc

[PhantomT69]

linux is the best for eye candy but only is you know your stuff. But there are programs for windows.

[blazerrips91]

lol late reply heh i have unbunto now so full of eye candy its cute lol i have the cube thingy the thing were you close pop ups they burst into flames its so cool

[troysuksatsk8ing]

paste this to 2 other videos

go to your channel and see your comments

JUST DO IT IT SCARY!!!

[RAKANKAN]

If ur a gamer Windows

If you want an OS that does everything better than windows in everything but gaming and stable go Mac os x

If you want really cool desktop effects and a nice internet browsing and stable OS chose linux

[armaggeddonflame]

most games are for windows.

macs are extremely expensive for the normal person.

and linux is good, why? because of its open-ness.

[3mb0]

u have no clue huh...

mac don't have no where near as many games as windows... and windows games have to be emulated and dont play well on mac... there more for media such as video editing looking at music, photo editing...

windows is very much gaming, data storage in charts ect and work.

linux is for fast users who want it for travel i spose... u can still use sun open office for work... its not gay. i do like it alot. im currently using windows for the fact that i play games

[st2293]

vista for life!

[conmana10]

I dunno why people say OSX for media sharing I can do All that bullshit on Vista and game... I'm gonna happen to buy a PC that can game and watch movies lol + pictures ect.

[sw5451]

Windows for gaming

Mac OS X for music office work etc.

linux for the special effects

[yoman137]

windows=best gaming compatability

os x=idk never used it-is it good?

linux-idk either never used it

[tryinsohard95]

If ur a gamers go to mac.

If ur a travel person user Windows.

If ur gay and stupid use linux

If u are studying use Windows 7!

faster and stable!

compatibility is shit but gooD!

[ghostspider]

"If ur gay and stupid use linux"

what are you talking about?

whats so bad about linux?

[Gav2710]

(well said PhilTheDipper)

if you are a gamer go for windows!

if you are a non gamer go for os x!

if you are broke go for linux!

[jusso11]

Baha, I'll second that.

Although, you can still play games on OS X =]

[Telstar85]

Now what's wrong with NeXT? :D

[PhilTheDipper]

if you are a gamer go for windows!

if you are a non gamer go for os x!

if you are broke go for linux!

[Zachiswack9]

Windows 7 FTW!

[azaas]

let's just wait and see how that goes...but i must say it's gonna be pretty hard to make me go back to win again -now that snow leopard with full 64 bit support is going to be released- :P ^^ But hey once it's out i'm getting it for sure to see how it is :) So to end this i'm gonna be an optimist and say Windows 7 ftw :P

[NeptuneMovies222]

I would say Windows for games,

OS X for Media sharing and Editing,

and Linux for Open Source.

[Edge0fPain]

@NeptuneMovies222

Wouldn't you say Linux for hardware compatibility and stability, snappy performance and efficiency?

[ShadowEater120880]

@NeptuneMovies222 "Linux for opensource" makes no sense in this context. You can also game in Linux and Mac and Linux has many great media editors in Linux

[mnipgailid]

You mother fucking moron, linux rules for all.

[seansobes]

this dude is freaking out. you can tell he is no tech slouch

[nintentubeWii]

I think that's rather misleading, "If all you need is the internet, Linux is perfect".

Linux is more useful than that, while staying consistent. Obviously not all forms of Linux and not for everything (but quite a few things).

[twgoldwood]

he means "linux is great if all u need is the internet" not "all linux can do is go on the internet"

[nintentubeWii]

I know he said that and was specifically arguing that point, instead of twisting his words.From what I understand, he's marginalizing Linux's desktop applications, due to a presumed inconsistency with Linux desktop shells. Yes, Linux is capable of running multiple shells, that work very different. Chris has stated these differences may make the Linux desktop challenging to an average user. However, he stated that if many, or all applications went to the web, it would give Linux a chance.

[rokketfilmzsociey]

MAC OSX

[NickMOCstudios]

About 6 years ago, I started to get the idea that Windows was the OS for me. Back then I played a lot more games than I do now, in fact, I don't own any games right now because I don't play any games. Anyway, recently (the past year or two) I've found that Mac OS X is better for what I do on the computer which is filmmaking, recording music, and designing web pages.

[jedixo]

im neva changing my mind about windows linux or mac im windows to the end i have had the best experiances with windows

[jedixo]

i have all except os 10 on 1 laptop

[izzish]

i used windows since 3.1 and then last year i tried linux... what i liked about it was the speed and stability, what made me crazy was compatibility issues with hardware... i decided to buy a new computer and after doing some research online as well as talking to some people at work i decided to give macs a try. i bought a macbook and quickly became a fan. i now feel comfortable using os x, win xp (haven't used vista much) and linux. no o/s is "best" - it's best to be able to use any of them.

[popgames]

the only os to use them all is os x. and nice choice...btw did i just read that you used 3.1 till 2008?

[criddell86]

" because its not just a piece of hard ware . it's a piece of software, that is, in, the piece of hardware that is run with, you know, various services, outside of this particular area. So it's software, hardware, service; it's a variety of things that create this comprehensive experience. And if any part of that experience is broken, its just kind of an incomplete experience. You have to look for as much of 100% as you can get in terms of the things you want from your computer. "

what??????

[LinuxGalore]

The top 5 web services companies all run......drum roll... BSD!!, nough said.

[Alexandersvy]

Why this guy can't say it?

The truth is that the best and most popular OSs for stability and data storage are Mac OS and Linux (Unix's sons). We are talking about tested technology with several decades of experience (Unix started in 1969).

Windows should not even be mentioned as an option here. Viruses, network vulnerability and system crashes can destroy your data!!!

Go Linux or Mac OS, forget about Windows.

[jonothewright]

I switched to Linux from Vista in September last year. At the time I was actually liking Vista and thought I would just give Ubuntu a try for fun. Now I run Linux on both of my PCs since it is in my opinion, and for everything that I need, the best platform out there. I can't imagine ever switching back (at least to Windows anyway).

[Planetsk8boardco]

this is a main point video

[FlamingoTel]

I use Cobian Backup for my backups. It supports local and network backups, and has no restrictions on scheduling (which alot of shareware backup utilities do).

And I can set it to run in low priority. Which is really great too.

[spacemadness123]

I've seen that Linux and OSX is really stable. I haven't had too many problems with XP stability. Always back up though. I like Windows because I have a lot of opensource software that works for me. Plus, I like pc gaming. Also, why are macs using intel chipsets now? Think about that.

[nathanhillinbl]

There are plenty of open source apps for linux. I've always been able to find an alternative to any windows app. Of course, it might not have all the functionality which comes out of a closed source app, but many times it does the job.

[BrokenHorn90]

Same. And when I can't find the open-source parallel of the app or program, that's where WINE works its magic.

[sparkysports]

Solaris

[chootastic]

Stability - well any OS will be stable if you have decent hardware. Windows runs fine if your hardware is good, say an IBM or dell system. Linux will run well on more or less any system, and will not take up too much hard disk space, provided you pick the right distro.

[zigzackslim]

i just tried out PCLinuxOS .Featuring ,KDE ,Open Office,Firefox ,Thunderbird Frostwire, Ktorrent, Amarok, Flash, Java JRE, Beryl 3D and much much more.

works great at my PC.

Opensource for the win

[morgs2020]

The short answer is Linux distro like Ubuntu.

[vahnx1337]

Windows XP is the best OS hands down.

[VIVICK]

Thought provoking words, thanks Chris

[ayrevortex]

Interesting... I'm going to load this now. :)

[PCWizKid]

I love linux for stability. I made some quality Windows Vista, XP and Ubuntu video tutorials with tips, tweaks and hacks for you guys, check out my channel.

Cheers

PCWizKid

[drummwill]

hmm i like Windows, because its good for like ALMOST everything, haha but if ur into photography, music, or like design stuff, get a Mac, its better.

i personally want to get a mac =)

[sharkhead7854]

lol yeah almost,

but if ur into the techy stuff i think linux is awesome- specifically ubuntu

i know, im about to get flamed and called a n00b for liking it

[FrozenEclipse]

How would you know it's better if you haven't used a Mac yourself? Falling for all that Apple propaganda?

[Dioxholster]

whats the difference. all photo softwares aka photoshop, sony, all in windows why need mac, ur buying into the hype

[SuperiorBeen]

Easiest and fastest way to backup data is RAID+Mirror matrix! Its done at hardware level not software, your OS its not slowed down and you can use even 8 hard drives running in parallel if the data is really that important!

[SuperiorBeen]

You a power user? LOL! What power user is the one who doesn't tweak its OS?

[theboxmike]

Vista>>>OSX Crap!!

[applexy]

these comments are pathetic.

[IceArdor]

What's the best operating system for Pixie?

[nemirc]

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffuck.... more mac vs pc bullshit... thanks for nothing "Woomis"!

[userxx]

Using Windows since Windows 95. Running Vista SP1. Kinda want out just to see what else is out there. Haven't had any major issues with Vista but a few minor things have made me look into other options.

[saprissa9]

can anybody tell me the relation between resolution, file size and image quality? please help me thank you.

[bccfunny]

file size = resolution * image quality

[YUPnNOPE]

MAC OS X KICKS ASS..!!!!! GO !

[TheConciseStatement]

Okay, but after all the diplomacy, what's the answer NOT going to be?

[exneo002]

ubuntu!!!

[ipodtouchmaster93]

Please Chris if you have are a very nice guy, you will give the dragon away to me. i will be in the chatroom on may 29th

[Bobertoq]

I'm using Mac OS X and I came from Windows. No sypware, or viruses. yaay

[YUPnNOPE]

amen.

[guitrman2487]

you huys are all weird every one known windows xp pro is best.... never crashes, isnt slow alot,has best software commpatibility

[duraso809]

Linux is better foe data storage and stability

[legrange09]

does anybody know where i can get that screensaver

[Gradius0]

NTFS and Mac are a joke. If you really want something stable and reliable, go for Linux, besides, is free, opensource, and cool. If you don't know how to use it, then blame yourself.

[YUPnNOPE]

no. its too dam complicated, unpopular, and unnecessary. that's why no one knows how to use it. Linux is like the baby from Windows(dad) raping OS X(mom). it's a bastard that won't go away. and the baby got a lot of looks from the daddy. so yea.

[jonesmm2]

As someone who has wanted a MAC for a long time I am constantly searching for reasons or excuses to buy one. As a PC gamer I want to be able to play anything I want. If I owned a MAC I'd always be in windows, which would ruin the whole point of owning a MAC.

If I owned a Mac I don't know what I would do with it, but I still want one!

[kippis05]

Windows Vista or Leopard.. Two great choices for stability.

[17Paperclips]

linux

you don't even need to defrag

[catapaultpenguin]

time machine ftw!!! I erased my hard drive to data stripe it raid 0 with another drive then restored it with time machine and now it's exactly the same as it was except with data striped hard drives!

[MXhm91]

best operating system ... easy Windows XP professional 32-64bit... but I will be buying Vista Ultimate 64 bit because it's the new thing =) and sp1 as arrived a while ago... so :F

[ICHBINAHMAD]

Using Mac for time machine and also fast ,no spy

or virus

[Daverix]

I use Ubuntu as my main OS because it's open source, good performance and have all the open source applications I used on windows. It's also the safest OS. No viruses!

I do dual boot with windows because of the games, but I'm a casual gamer so that's fine.

Thanks for reminding me about backup! It's been a while... ;-)

[ArmenianSOADfreak]

OK so thats good for timemachine on the mac what about us XP users?

whats the best for XP?

[russkeller]

I totally changed my mind about windows. My vista experience was that bad. Now I'm an total Ubuntu user. Only problem is that I do like games the fact that getting games to work on Linux systems is a hobby kinda sucks when you just want to enjoy the game.

[fido139]

Comment limit exceeded? WTF?

[PlayerXT]

I use Ubuntu on my laptop while using Windows XP x64 on my desktop.

[mysticfm]

I was 100% XP until last year. Now a Macbook Pro w/Leopard has become my main system, while my older systems continue to run XP for applications that I previously owned and want to continue to use. Also, I now run an Ubuntu server for file storage, etc.

So while I've switched to Mac as my "primary" platform, I think it's more important that I've expanded from only running Windows XP to employing a variety of operating systems, each in the circumstances where I find it useful.

But NOT Vista.

[jayhawksrock1]

it won't let me on the chat.

[skrstov]

If only the data storage is questioned it's not the matter which OS you use. The most important thing is stable and safe hardware which holds your data or archive. Every OS has more than one way to organize and maintain data (documents, pictures, music etc.) but hardware choice is crucial. If you want your saved data and backups lasts for decades you must have excellent and healthy storage hardware.

[jeffsadowski]

raid helps

[JesusDwarf]

I changed my mind. I think mac is really become a big player for software and they always have good ideas. but I prefer windows

[punkerpinoy2004]

The OS i have had very good experience with is XP but Vista isn't too bad just they fact i would need to extensively use is start using the Mac OS so i could extensively explain which OS is good for data storage.

[summerwizz]

IM ON WINDOWS VISTA butb my stuff is upto date 2008-2007 some 06 software

[AsylumSmash]

I started with Windows XP, bought a vista laptop, experienced with it a little, then went back to XP

[dannylberry2]

me 2 i got a acer with vista in 1 week i had XP on and ar so happy

[jeffsadowski]

xfs on raid your choice linux or irix. This is the best for storage. It supports up to 16 exabytes. Max file size 8 exabytes use samba to share with windows systems.

[redsummers]

You have to take into account that you literally need an UPS if you have something important on an XFS slice. The newest and most promising file systems today are ZFS and Btrfs which both support astronomically much data.

[jeffsadowski]

Haven't tried zfs you can use any fuse capable distro to use it. Windows needs to support fuse so that it can support more filesystems. the lack of real links in windows sucks.

[MetalPSI]

Keep sucking that corporate dick there chris.

Not everyone is a moron.

ok...so the majority are that watch your vids.

[NotAHaxor]

OS X would be my choice.

[GuruPyro]

Ubuntu ftw...

[redsummers]

Openbsd

[Floker2004]

i don't know who gave you the thumb down, but clearly youre one of the few who have a clue. OpenBSD is, as well as all of the other bsds the one best operating system for data security.

[Mikeyf619]

Windows 7 :P

[DaMirrorLink]

I'd have to say wither Windows XP or Linux for data storage and stability, I use XP :P

[XX678XXCool]

yo u rule

[Craciundani]

For data storage, Windows XP works for me.

[100percentvideos]

U ROCK CHRIS!!!!!!!!!!
