What operating system do you use?

Windows vista using a classic windows theme on my laptop. You should add options for tablet os types (I know android is linux, but still). Dislike Mac os myself. Have used it for years in school, never liked the feel of it.

Windows 7 95% of the time, and Ubuntu for the other 5%.

It's a proven fact that Apple is worth more than Microsoft and Google combined.

You're the one who brought the not so important statistics into the thread.

Apple may be worth more than Microsoft and Google combined but this for one moment does not prove that their operating system is better than another. That's just an opinion.

And I have an opinion of my own, I'm not saying I'm right or anything especially as I have no evidence of what I am about to say but you may think that Apple offer a better operating system because (for example, it may or may not be true). Apple computers are quite expensive so therefore people would probably not have an Apple computer as their "first computer" - or whatever. So generally the majority of the people on this forum may have grown up using a Windows OS basedcomputertherefore they would be more used to how it operates, and it's flaws. So they come across something new and different to them an Apple OS and it's so much better to them because all the flaws they noticed in Windows over the years aren't there in Mac OS so it's significantly better straight away, it works differently and so on. I think that is partly why many people do tend to believe that Mac OS is better than Windows. I'm not saying it is. I could go on but anyway, that's my opinion.

As for my operating system, I use Mac OS X Lion on my MacBook Pro and use Windows 7 and XP on other computers.

You missed the part in the thread where I only pointed out it's worth more because a Windows user pointed out Windows sells more in attempt to make Windows look better. I never said, nor would I ever attempt to say that an operating system's quality may be based upon the fiscal credentials of that operating system or its creator's company.
