Windows XP.
Not my computer, so even if I actually wanted to switch, I couldn't.

Shadowgandor

Windows vista and i don't understand why people hate it >.>.

A_Total_noob

I use OSX, as one can tell by my sig.

Getting myself one of those Mac Pr0s soon !
lawl, people still play Tremulous ?

In the end Mac wins because it's the only one of the three that can - easily - run both the others. I dualboot OSX and WinXP (even though I never actually use winxp because I can't stand it) and once installed ubuntu on an iMac with little difficulty, although admittedly it did suck because no airport drivers and no ppc graphics drivers.
So, yeah. Get an intel iMac, replace the wireless network card (or plug it in to the ethernets), then install all three and be happy.
Problem: solved.

because it needs a 3 ghz processor and modern graphics card for visual effects that linux and osx have been doing for years on 850mhz processors and geforce 2 era video cards?

Microsoft is also getting very desperate. A whole huge lotta things are stolen from Os X. (don't know 'bout linux 'cause i dun't use one, nor know anyone who does)

we beryl/compiz is a ripoff of expose, but unlike microsoft, the linux crowd never claimed otherwise.

Oh realy?
I run FreeBSD, Plan 9, Win2K SP4, ReactOS, and OS X Tiger (license is legal) on my homebrew AMD desktop. It was pretty easy to setup.

Meh, never tried it myself, but I know someone who found it difficult.
I'll be interested in giving that a go, though, because I'm pretty sure a third of the price of an iMac goes to the privelige of allowing you to run the OS. If that process ever becomes *easy* then sales of Apple's official machines are going to take a hit. And so are their prices ^_^

I also don't think there is a "best" OS.  You use the right tool for the job.  Whatever that happens to be.
I agree.
Fragged can frag YOU!
