There are three major, obvious choices:

Linux (Unix-Based OS)

Mac (Unix-Based OS)

Microsoft (Self-serving, Independent OS)


About 90% of the "wired" World uses Microsoft, with about 9% using Mac, and the rest use Linux and other independent software/OS.

As for me, a loyal Microsoft user who experiments with Linux and fantasizes about using Mac.:giggling: The need is no more; the Mac interface that I dream about is coming the newest Microsoft product; VISTA!

You can't just conform and soccumb to the Mic/Mac standard!

I have used windows vista beta 2. It is pretty heavy but very beautifuly made. It has a black task bar.

Windows is getting boring. XP used to be great but the display gets tiring. Ive recently reverted 2 windows ME.
It needs a new look-way to go windows vista.

linux not bad for free OS.

Quick question, Is it halaal to get the new windows from the computer fair when it comes out, they do copies and sell them cheap unlike Bill no wonder why he's so rich.

what's Linux!!!....:X

ain't never hearda that b4!! :?

 

[Dahir]

what's Linux!!!

Its an operating system that is used by computer-savvy people, you can start from scratch or with some applications and build everything, like your own web browser, writing application, games, etc. Its also free. A lot of people experiment with it, like myself, but its just not that good, its really cool though.

For more info, just google it or go to wikipedia and find out more!
