    LOL.. we are slaying the competition so far! Go Windows!

    I like the simplicity/cleanness of the Linux and Mac OS, but IMHO the functionality in Windows is just too familiar for me to switch 100% to something else atm.

    Little things like a double click to maximize a window, etc.

    I've been using Windows since the dawn of time it seems like, but I'm not going to lie, I do love me some OS X and even some Ubuntu.

    I voted for OS X though because I feel like Mac has really got their software down. The only problem I ever seem to have with their software is simply that its not Windows, which is the same problem I usually get with Linux. I've just become so familiar and used to Windows that I'll probably stick with them till the end of my days. Especially once Win7 gets perfected and released. The RC is pretty damn impressive. It would of changed my vote in the end, but, I don't want to pay a crap load of money for an OS. I think its what? A $70ish difference between OS X and Win7? Thats the other thing I like about OSX, they don't have 50 different versions. lol
    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    Windows hands down. I have used them all and own copies of Windows 2000, xp home, xp pro, xp media center, Vista home premium 32bit, vista ultimate 64bit, will soon have Windows 7. I also have copies of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, linux mint, Solaris 10, and Android.

    I voted Mac because I've played around with some of their stuff recently and have found that I enjoy using it much more than Windows.

    I switched to Mac.

    After Windows 2000, it's essentially the same boring trend of "Don't rework the code! Just put a band-aid on it!" Vista was apparently nothing but band-aids, and fell apart. I hope to see the final version of Windows 7 as a good operating system, but Mac won me over first.

    It's just easy, and that's why I like it. No real headaches with the software trying to find something. It's just there.

    And the drivers are built into the Mac OS so there's no hunting for drivers if you need to reformat for some reason... if you even need to reformat. I tend to have to reinstall Windows around every six months and it's a real pain in the arse to set everything back up the way I want it to be.

    I am hard on a computer with several hundred GB worth of file transfers every few months and I may format my OS partition maybe every 18 months or so. Windows users who have to reformat often are doing something wrong. With the proper drive care IE: defragmenting, registry cleaning, removing old outdated drivers, etc you should never have to format and reinstall windows. I have a 20gb partition for C which is my OS partition. I never install anything but windows on that partition. If a program wont allow me to install to a custom location then I find one that will. The only exception is the new Ghostbusters game which I installed on C to try and get it to work.
