I currently use 2000 pro, Xp Pro, and Vista Ultimate. Ubuntu 7.10 for my laptop

Xp pro until Vista proves me otherwise.

Of all the ones I've used, XP pro

**BigDov** · 03-01-2007, 09:19 AM

XP Pro with a few tweaks is fine with me

**xB0n3s** · 03-01-2007, 10:20 AM

As I posted in the last poll Win XP Pro sp2 works fine for me.

**nn_step** · 03-01-2007, 11:24 AM

OpenBSD is the OS for me

**The Dome** · 03-01-2007, 11:52 AM

Solaris 10 wasn't too bad, but netbsd and slax still have my heart

**FLMJIGGY** · 03-01-2007, 12:13 PM

I like XP pro the best

**[XC] moddolicous** · 03-01-2007, 08:00 PM

I've used XP Pro religously, but I'm trying to learn linux now and Ubuntu is very user friendly. They both get my votes.

I only switched to XP in 2004/2005 (by then SP2 build 2600 was out), till then 2k was a better alternative for me, so I'll do the same thing whit Vista or other OS, cause I'm not M$ Beta tester whit a commercial OS like Vista (same as I wasn't with XP) .

PS.They should pay you guys for testing Vista, not the other way around.

Diff systems for diff needs:

XP pro for laptop/"must work for business apps"
Vista for the cutting edge
XP home for the spouse

Perhaps think about changing the title? I'm using Vista Business currently, but don't feel enthusiastic enough to call it or any other OS for that matter "the best."

Maybe a more neutral, "What OS(es)" do you run on your main rig?

What do you feel enthusiastic about? Don't use it if you don't like it.

WinXP Pro is my favorite version of Windows (I tried Win2K, but XP feels more stable to me, as unlikely as that sounds), however Linux is still my favorite OS for daily use (despite some of the problems ATi's Linux drivers have), and BSD is just lovely <3

**Skillz** · 03-06-2007, 01:58 PM

Well I use XP MCE, but I consider it XP Pro.

**bloodandsoil** · 03-10-2007, 12:40 AM

Why pay more for XP Pro? Home is cheaper and the only functionality missing is the ability to attach to a Domain.

**Clint** · 03-10-2007, 02:44 AM

What happened with 2003 ?

EDIT: My vote went for Windows 2003 server

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GROUP POLICY! GROUP POLICY! GROUP POLICY!

Repeat after me: Group Policy is awesome, and a must-have for windows security.

BTW, I noticed that Linux is officially more popular than all Windows Vista Editions combined.

Security features + unmatched Remote Desktop (I know there are 3rd party tools, but RDC simply rocks!)

My fav is Win XP Pro simply because of the widespread software and drivers availability.

I recently tried using Knoppix and its nothing short of amazing. It detected all my NTFS drives in ACHI mode, loaded my network and almost all the apps (browser, utils, zip funct. etc) I needed in about 5 minutes - AWESOME! Win XP cant even come close to this. It could also detect my USB thumb drive instantly. In fact Win Xp doesnt even have native ACHI drivers for the 973 chipset!! BAD!

if you havent tried it, you MUST!
