windows 7

[-Eyeless-]

Hmmm, now that's weird because I prefer Vista to XP It deals with things alot better than XP ever did in my opinion and it does loads more things OS/X does for my needs, like when you browse music files the details appear at the bottom of the window, so you don't need iTunes or WMP to play around with details to edit them. Plus my XP PC crashed loads more times than this Vista PC, and this PC only crashed when I forgot to plug everything back in properly

Linux is just generally a better OS than both of them

I have to opposite problem :S lol my XP never crashes but my Vista always does haha...

OSX if it had the software functionality of Windows.
Linux if it had the software functionality of Windows.
Windows if it had the hardware compatibility of Linux.

Vista is infact better than XP, physically Security wise, and also Memory Management wise.

Yea my laptop (Vista) just sucks hardwarewise compared to my Desktop(XP) lol

It's probably me treating it better, and the specs are very good compared to the XP one

Ahh my laptop came with a fault, but Microsoft refuse to fix it because I downloaded limewire and they blame that which is ******* stupid, the sly dogs!

Are you serious? Linux's hardware compatibility is **** compared to Windows.

Why would Microsoft fix your laptop?

I mean as in will work on old hardware, new hardware, a wide range of hardware, for example, XP on my old computer runs like a dog, but Ubuntu runs beautifully, much like OSX Leopard, it will still work on the crappiest of Macs.

my vista runs perfect on one core + 2gb of ram (amd 3400+)

Actually dan linux supports alot of hardware but you have to configure it yourself, unlike on windows where it does it automatically for you.

Windows 7 is intended to be everything Vista was meant to be. Its going to be built on the same kernel as vista and require the same hardware specs to run it, but it's meant to be faster etc..

hopefully, won't be that much requirement.
