How about using AndroidOS? Sure, it's only for smartphones and netbooks, but at least it'd make things interesting.
You could run android on your desktop PC if you wanted, but much like on netbooks there's not really any point.Originality said:How about using AndroidOS? Sure, it's only for smartphones and netbooks, but at least it'd make things interesting.
Vigilante said:XP for great compatibility
Vista for nice gui but low compatiblity
Win 7 somehow a mix of XP and Vista

Mac is not 100% virus-proof, it's just that there are less likly because there arn't that many people who use mac's and so there is no point in making a virus: this doesn't mean there won't be either.

For me its less about the OS and more about the hardware and what you want to do with it. If you want to play new games your going to want lots of hardware and Windows. If you just want to browse the net and are only interested in email and facebook then almost any hardware will do and Linux is honestly probably the best choice.
Right tool for the job at hand.

Your too young to remember very many OS's being born in 1987 and all (I was in high school while you sat in diapers.), I was playing with Linux while you probably watched Barney on TV learning to count...
I never brushed off the OS as in inconsequential choice, you managed to extract that meaning out thin air. As for false claims again you seem to pull this from the thin air... As for qualified advice, no one asked for qualified advice they asked for an opinion "Best OS" thats sheer opinion by any measure.
To put my post in more simple terms for you. All I said is use the right OS for the right task.
Honestly is that too hard for you to understand?
Would you like me to write a list of all the OS's I have used?
Nearly everything from Dos 2.0 Windows 7 64 and nearly all the beta's in between.
Linux from a time when you could fit it on a 3.5 inch floppy and had to compile it yourself to DVD versions with distro's I promise you have never even heard of.
Apple everything from the IIe up too and including OSX and yes this includes the Lisa and the II Gs.
Comadore Vic 20 all the way to an Amiga 2000. Geos was very nice for its time on the C64
Texas Instruments I probably show a bit of weakness here as the only thing I have is a TI-994A and extended basic for any sort of OS if you can even count that as an OS.
The list goes on a lot farther but I am bored now, I am off to try out the new open source Icaros (bonus points for you if you even know what it is...) been siting on my desktop for a few days now waiting on me.

Experience with every OS on the planet doesn't make up for your lack of reading comprehension. If you're not going to address the points in the post you reply to, why bother replying at all? Just makes you look silly.
So I write "guess you're definitely" and you read "definitely guessing"?JonthanD said:Reading comprehension like this one "I'd venture to guess you're definitely not qualified to give advice on the subject." So your definitely guessing, is that like being sort of pregnant? Maybe my comprehension would improve if your writing skills where a little better.
So it's crap because less people use it? That's so flawed it's not funny. First off, OSX is available for what, like 5 different computers including laptops. Windows is available for pretty much all the other thousands of types of computers out there including custom builds and it almost always comes pre-installed with the hardware. Does your logic really makes sense? Sure, there are way more Windows computers sold than Apple computers, but that's such a stupid comparison because you're comparing one OEM to every other OEM plus custom builders and everything in between. Look at the sales of Apple computers compared with any other OEM. I think it's very clear that Apple computers are very popular.Wizzerzak said:Dter ic said:

also, another point, macs cant be that good (or they're just massively overpriced) as, the reason they have 'less viruses' is because there are less mac users, therefore:
less mac users = less people buying them = not very popular because = crappier system

Did I say strawman? I meant ad hominem (Freudian slip on my part). I suppose this proves you read at least some EnglishJonthanD said:I added some from your earlier post to show an example, lets look at this part "Resorting to a strawman argument one sentence in? How quaint."
I do not think it means what you think it means... but I would love to hear your "take" on it...
So at least in this part you managed to back pedal on your earlier statement of how I have no experience with OS's. "Experience with every OS on the planet doesn't make up for your lack of reading comprehension." but you still have trouble believing I can read and understand what your saying.
But just to clarify I didn't say every OS on the planet, I think you give me too much credit.

This error aside, your post doesn't really have any content to it.
"Owned" indeed.JonthanD said:An ad hominem (Latin: "to the man"), also known as argumentum ad hominem, is an attempt to link the validity of a premise to a characteristic or belief of the person advocating the premise.[1] The ad hominem is a classic logical fallacy,[2] but it is not always fallacious. For in some instances questions of personal conduct, character, motives, etc., are legitimate and relevant to the issue.[3]
That would still make absolutely no sense in the context of the post in which you claim it would have been in....

No sarcasm present. It's really the first decent attempt in the handset sector not built on this "apps on a screen" concept that the iOS App Store has popularized to such success. The idea of having all your third-party (and otherwise) software tightly integrated into the core UI, creating the seamless experience present on WP7, Microsoft executed it remarkably well. There are shortfalls and missing functionally, but it's a v1 product so that's to be expected. Standardized hardware guidelines is also a very smart move, showing they're watching the mistakes of the Android team very closely.Originality said:Never used 7, so I can't comment on it (or the aforementioned "innovation" which smells of sarcasm).
