I use Windows 7 for games and Ubuntu for most of the other stuff.

I switched to Apple after the Vista debacle, but quickly came back to Windows7 after I found out about Office 08 being crap on a Mac and that many devices simply have no drivers in MacOS. Yeah MacOS is fast, it's nice to look at and has some nice gesture support BUT many software packages are inferior or incompatible with Windows and other devices. The Mac file system is different, so have fun synching (backups and databases) with the rest of the world. I am a LOT more productive with Win7

I would have to say Workbench on the Commodore Amiga. First OS to do multitasking and it was amazing on 256k. The Amiga was so far ahead of its time from games like Turricain, awesome arcade conversions that were superior to the actual arcade like Rainbow Islands, to the use of Deluxe Paint. Loved the Amiga.

Next would be GEOS on the Commodore 64. Seeing the C64 do desktop publishing,running a GUI was a treat amongst itself and was fast too by C64 standards that is.

@SuperAllenWest Indeed I know the cool stuff, one thing is Linux still needs some protection it is has vulnerable has any other OS but yes it doesn't need has much it may be popular but for more then windows and mac its desktop use is not has popular has the OS which are targeted for infections.

@rainbowbowserpow9999 There is TONS of stuff you can do with Linux that's why Linux is used in almost everything from cell phone , to servers , and super computers ... Supercomputers today most often use variants of the Linux operating system.Linux has tons of fun software like ... EasyStroke Mouse Gestures , Compiz Fusion ,Phatch Photo batch Processor, Parcellite, OpenShot , Blender 3D, PhotoFilmStrip, vsftpd + filezilla = any easy to set up home sever. Plus Linux doesn't need Anti-virus.
