What OS

[Inscribe]

Ive been using Windows Vista for about a year now, and getting bored of it.
I did use ubuntu but couldnt play habbo so i unilstalled that.

Im just wondering what OS i should use?

Im going to be putting it on a usb stick and booting it from there.
So if anyone had download links for the OS also...

Thanks for any replys

Yeh there is, i was having trouble finding the right version and how to make it work.
Ive never used ubuntu so i jsut gave up on that.

Windows 7 is your only logical choice.

I do too, but you can make the startbar look like the Vista startbar if you go to its properties and change some settings.

You could use XP, it's fast:D.

I want to try something diffetent other than windows, i tried ubuntu. Guess the only thing left is the Mac os.

You've more or less exhausted your alternatives really seeing as you've ruled our anything linux based or Windows. Is the only reason your hopping between OS's because your bored of them? They are there to serve a purpose to be honest with you, not really supposed to be entertaining.

You could try hackintosh if you feel up to it

What does hackintosh involve doing exactly :D

Downloading a modified distribution of osx that has a load of additional drivers etc added in and then attempted to get it to run :p Ranges from tutorials the size of a novel to just running a standard installer in difficulty with the different modified osx copies, plus different types will support different sets of hardware so you'll wana do a little research. Also theres often a few left overs niggles, such as time machine not working as far as im aware plus issues with sleep etc.

Alternately, run linux inside windows and get best of both :p ( http://portableubuntu.demonccc.cloudius.com.ar/ )

Quite good actually, installed it on USB stick, works except network card as I can't find the right drivers for it.What fun is there to possibly be had on Windows 3.1, particularly as there's no network card drivers. The interface is a good laugh for a few minutes but then you start investigating programs like the Calculator and other stuff you've took for granted in the 'Accessories' folder since Windows 95.
