Thread: What OS do you guys Use and why?

Windows. A lot of people will tell you that a unix-like OS is good, and/or you should use a Linux, BSD, etc., but don't listen to them. Windows is the most stable, innovative, user-friendly, and capable operating system.

Linux, for example, is deliberately difficult, in a desperate attempt to make the people who have no life, look like they know what they're doing.
And, BSD was originally made by a teenager, who (for what ever reason, I don't know the details) was jealous that _he_ wasn't the one who invented Windows; the project then grew by more people who felt the same way.
The stories are mostly the same across the board.

Think about it, Windows doesn't have 99.9% of the OS market share for no reason.
And with 8 being released soon, MS is upping the ante even more. Save yourself some headache, don't learn the hard way. Stick with the OS that's been proven.

this couldn't be further from the truth.

Linux is deliberately flexible. with that flexibility comes some difficulty, but the difficulty itself is not deliberate. Linux allows its users to modify parameters of its operation that windows doesn't even expose in a read-only context. if you want a user friendly solution in the box ready to go, sure, go ahead and use windows. on the other hand, if you have the knowledge and desire to customize your system at the lowest levels, then an open source operating system like Linux is the only choice.
