What is your favorite OS?

LookintheMirrorSo how can people vote if theyve not used every OS listed.Who here appreciated the jump from 3.1 to 95 for example.

This is not "What is your favorite OS from all available?" this is more like "What is your favorite OS from what you have used?".

My first contact with a PC was a p1 133MHZ with
windows 95 then upgraed to windows 98 and then to
windows XP

@Fire_IceI had the OS' in that same order too. :P95, 98, 98 ver2, XP, then 7.

For me....Win 98 SE, XP, Vista, 7.

Here was my order of OS...Windows 95, Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000, then it was XP.I have tried out other operating systems like X window systems, but I never really got into it.

Ive got to admit I did like 7RC-being free and early LOL

I started with dos, then went to windows 3.1, then 3.11, then 98se, me, then 2000, then xp then 7.2DamCerius: X is not an operating system, it is a gui for linux.

Yes that was what I was wondering too...I forgot to add some OS in my time cycle.Win 98 SE, XP, Vista, 2000, 7, 95.Yes radom OS all around.

I started with a p1 133mhz and windows 95 too. Then I got 350mhz and windows 98.
Ive had tons of PC's with XP on from when it first released. I skipped vista because I used it on my dads PC and hated how everything took twice as long. I do have a copy though.
Then I got windows 7 tiny, and now im using 7 ultimate.

Ugh, Windows 7 Ultimate runs slow in a virtual machine...worse then 4 vista's in one..

7 Ultimate is very fast on my pc, I suggest you upgrade yours.And who voted for Vista?!

Replying to #51

Not me.Also a virtual machine is limited to what the host has to offer, minus what the host needs, so that's nothing too much left.And as VMware Player eats RAM by itself, I have nothing more then 1GB left for RAM. Disk space is limited by my mom downloading games, so best disk space I can offer to it is 40 GB. Processor is used fully.Nothing to do with the laptop, as it runs fine except for the slowness. that has to do with what the host has to offer.

Right I totally forgot, since I have not messed with it for a while. I was getting into UNIX,
but I stopped and tried FreeBSD. Been a long time since I got into OS again.

Did you mean the Windows 7 "Remix" package?

Replying to #53

I think he means release candidate.

Replying to #54

Oh okay. Its just that I remember downloading something similar before 7RC. It tweaked the GUI of XP. When I used it certain files become incompatible due to the icon registry.

Yes,I should have said that.I only voted for W95 as it was a big jump going from using one of them handheld things(was a psion or pye thing) on 3.1,to W95 on a 15" desktop pc.I liked NT c/w Lotus Notes,but now I use W7/XP dual boot as that covers my car tuning software..

honestly i like windows black the best..

Replying to #57

Hehe, those are 3rd party and usually come with spyware. The only good thing about them is the themes, etc that you can do yourself anyway.
Unless you're joking?

you noticed too soon! haha, but black does make it a tad faster lol.

Replying to #59

I would have played along, but I couldn't tell if you were joking or not XD
