Windows XP, but have often considered that once this computer dies that I will go with a Mac.


Why you ask?

 

[fedex]

Mac's are strictly good for the use of graphic design/ animation...

Your everyday use of email, office, surfing you would make a serious mistake in purchasing a mac.

Oh really!? I didn't know that. Then why do they push Mac's on Windows people all the time? That is just weird. :shrug:

They push it to make money.

sort of like how car dealers around here push four wheel drive because of ALL the snow we get >_<


Mac's are generally a huge and expensive let down for a majority of users when they migrate over.

It used to be worse because they had WAY to much proprietary hardware and things were expensive upfront and down the road.

I am a big fan of linux or windows. If you follow safe computing practices on either you are good to go.

Been running Linux since last Christmas. Bounced around on a few different distributions (hell why not, they're FREE!) and am now running SimplyMEPIS 7.0. If I absolutely HAD to run Windows, I'd stick with XP. I have nothing against Macs, I just have no Mac experience.

I probably could.

My Windows XP desktop actually has a Mac (Quicksilver) motherboard. Makes a huge improvement in performance as well.
