Which OS do you use on your pc ?

i use both Ubuntu and Windows 7 on my Dell XPS.  i just installed Linux, so i'm still in the learning phase.  so far i do like it.  i just don't know what programs i should be downloading to make my Ubuntu experience better.  

So far windows 7 Ultimate X64 has been rock solid.  Amazingly, not a single complaint **looks around for some wood to knock on**

It depends on how you use your pc ?
-Graphism ?
-Internet ?
-Gaming ?
-Text ?

You should downloading : Google Chromium, Gimp, Babiloo (dictionnary). You should go on The Software library, a lot of programs easy to install ;)

Actually i'm trying to install skype   

hmmm, i only use, Win 7, Ubuntu, Solaris, Debian, and Fedora.

For gaming, i'll not lie... Game on linux are not very good. I much prefer use my Windows 7 or Xp for gaming. For movie making: i don't know. ^^ For downloading : I saw some torrent programms, but i prefer using Megaupl0ad or MegaVide0. Resume : I advise you that Ubuntu is a very good OS for surfing on internet and do some stuff. Windows still very good for using Photoshop, Sony Vegas Pro etc... So the best way is to do a Dual Boot Seven-Ubuntu.

Mac OS is tha best...period! Uses RAM and resources designed so Mac so smoothly that its virtually bug-free. Windows 7 is rock tho, i'm impressed cos imo its the best since Windows 2000. For gaming you cant beat PCs but for everything else get a Mac. For DIY appz, programming, customising then yeah Unix based OS are tops.

The Mac price always affraid me. I'm not trolling but seriously this is really expensive. However this is a really good OS with a pretty bad harware (compare to the price). i use two mac 27" on my school, this is good for graphism but only for it.
I much prefer this one :
Box : Thermaltake Armor A90
HDD : Western Digital Caviar RE4 S-ata 500 Go - 64mo cache x2
SSD : Intel X25 V 40Go
Proc : AMD Phenom x6 1055T
Motherboard : MSI 870a Fuzion
RAM : Corsair XMs3 6GO DDR3 Pc10600
Gaming Card : Radeon™ HD 5750 1Go

Just trolling ....

IDK about the MAC sucks argument.  After sitting in front of literally hundreds of PCs since they were invented, I have never been more impressed than I am with the MAC.  I've built some awesome gaming rigs over the years and I've bought some awesome PCs too.

When i was shopping for a Laptop a few months ago, i saw a good PC for about $800 and a

There's a saying "you get what you pay for" macs dont simply look good. imo I luv PCs and Macs too but if you've messed around with PCs and know the hassle u get from a m/c that relies on overbloated, suspect, vulerable software and the painful reinstallation process then u know why Macs win. Ppl want m/cs that do the job, my days of buildling PCs for a hobby have come to an end. If u want custom then PCs, games then PCs. I could go on a rant about Microsoft and their aggressive control over the marketplace which is not in our best interests. But seriously Steve Jobs and his crew understand the future and that has always been the seamless integration of computers in businesses and homes and for leisure. Ubiquitous devices are where its at and Microsoft are just getting there. RE OS -If they can build on the success of Windows 7 and start supporting OS properly instead of updates the sizeof other OS or insisting on 3rd party providers issuing disks with m/c then for me they'd be back in the game.
