Which of the three do you like the most?
For me, it just has to be Windows 7. I've used all of the three at some point or another and I have to say that W7 is the most simple and easy to use. While not too complex, there's not much you can't do and I just feel that the other two are limited. Mac feels weird without right-clicking, and W8 is just messy the way it operates.
I've also grown up using w7 so I may have shown a little favouritism but there we go.
i have 8 on my desktop and 7 on my laptop
indifferent between the two
Odd poll... Mac what?
Any, they're pretty similar so just "Mac" in general compared to the 2 window systems I mentioned.Quote:

Windows 8 for me. Once you get over the fact that the start menu is gone you actually realise (or at least most do) that it actually works better - hit start, type and instantly get what you want - find files, apps, settings and now even web information etc.
Windows 7 is still a great operating system - it brought the speed, usability and compatibility of XP and the security of Vista. Mac wise I'm not a massive fan, the OS is okay although can be confusing for someone who hasn't used it but it's the prices of actual macs that put me off.
Can I vote for Windows 8.1?...
Can you see it on the options?Quote:

By Mac If you mean OSX Mavericks then yes,
and you can right click on a Mac..
I like Windows 7, it does the job. I like to go on my computer to go on internet and do college work, don't need all this faffing around with apps and stuff.

last thing I had was vista. Don't like windows 7 or 8!!
I use both Mac and 8 on my laptop. But mostly Mac.
I use Windows 8.1 and OSX Mavericks
I use Windows 8.1 with Start8 (as I despise Metro but 8.1 is smooth hence not 7). I also have a partition with OS X Mountain Lion, though currently mostly un-used whilst I weigh up whether to buy a MacBook Air.
I was using both Windows 7 and Mac OS X on my iMac but recently upgraded the Windows 7 to Windows 8.1.
Now.. going from Windows 7 to Mac OS X was really confusing for me, mainly because of the Finder and I did find Windows 7 easier to use. But then going from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 was also a little confusing at first, but I soon got used to it.
HOWEVER, as much as I like Windows 8.1, it seems to love crashing multiple times per day and rebooting itself so I couldn't really trust it if I was doing work on it unless I was saving everything every 20 seconds :/. But hopefully I'll be able to fix that crashing problem anyway.. (apparently it's outdated drivers) so I'll look in to that. So I'm going to vote Windows 8 assuming I get that fixed.
I really like windows 8. Also, as I'm sure other people have said (even though I haven't read this...) mac isn't an operating system.
windows > mac
windows 8 > os anything
Not had the crashing problem at all, so definitely an isolated issue :)Quote:

Just came back online to say my Windows 8.1 just crashed again when I went to save a word document :'(.
(SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED)
I'm going to say Windows 8 purely because it's a much quicker boot up than 7.
