    Simply the best is Windows Xp.. its gamer friendly :P
    though windows vista is gaining momentum but then too i love Xp.. just coz its simple and much more efficient than vista.. :D

    btw never thought about linux .. just worked on it .. heard its powerful but never tried it on home pc.. just coz its GUI is not as friendly as windows .. and its easy for other family members to use windows (cant have a full techsavy family :P)

    Vista is actually really good and powerful, as long as you have a computer that was built for it.

    I find that Leopard is nice with graphics... but their is one thing Macs always had a problem with: THERE ARE NO MAC GAMERS!!!!!!

    So far I like Ubuntu...
    Well Maybe Its caused by....Macs not built for games&gamers :cool:

    Well About Vista, I tried it, It was running smooth, just I dont like when its trying to suggest/tell/offer or in any other way interacting into my decisions & life... so just dontlike :naughty:

    I use Mac OS X 10.5.4 Leopard at the time. Apple is coming out with another update to OS X (which is probably going to be 10.6.x) called Snow Leopard. I might get it, but I'm not sure.

    I'm all for XP, it's got a nice interface, all my games run fine, and with the proper firewalls, it's secure. Vista is a complete Memory and Processor hog, although secure, it has to ask for permission for everything which is annoying. Linux is beast, but there aren't that many programs for it. Mac I find to be quite crappy, just looking at some youtube videos, also how stereotypic they are in their commercials.

    Macs could be built for gamers if and only if people used VMWARE or something of the sort. I heard a rumor that Mac was going to create an all offical Windows emulator so peopel cold use windows software on a mac.

    That, along with the fact that the new MacBooks are coming with both GeForce 9400Ms and GeForce 9600M cards in one package, and the Mac Pro since it's a really fast unit.

    Re: Which Operating System do you prefer?

    I can't stand any version of Windows. It's so unfortunate how prevalent Windows is; I've been working on it since 3.1. The Blue Screens, slowness, security holes, and bloat get me every time. It does, however, have the most games... Apples/Macs have always been so pretty and intuitive, but relatively expensive. I'm going to use Ubuntu on my next system.
