I use Windows XP and Vista, both are great systems

uhhh no. You are absolutely wrong there. -.- I'm sorry but it's true, I have spent hundreds of dollars just trying to fix my XP.
I shudder to think of how long and how much money it would take to even begin to fix the epic major disaster fail full of glitches and mistakes covered up by good graphics that is Vista.

Windows XP is a great operating system - All the games are made for it- Great graphics and most people are use to the Setup/Style of it.

I am using a Mac right now, with Safari. Works great.

Windows XP Professional. I don't know that much about computer-related technical stuff, but I can read labels on products.

I use Vista. Most people don't like it, but it really is a great computer if you take the time to learn how to use it.

The only problem with Macs is that many great games can only be played on PC's; maybe one or two of my vast collection of CD-ROM games I got from yard sales actually work on Macs
.
Linux has wine (windows emulator) and I think there might be a similar program for the mac computers.

Did you know that mac and linux are unix?

@LEGEND_beast

We are talking about the operation system, not the hardware itself.

@escartian

Wine is an emulator and thus, is not good as Windows when running programs designed for Windows. I've heard Wine is good but it would be much more convenient using Windows to play games.

Mac users can avail of Boot Camp. You can use Windows and Mac in the same Mac computer.

As for me, I prefer Windows XP. I hate Vista.

Operating system, not operation system.

That is obvious but it is better then having to use two different computers only to be able to use more cds. Wine can play quite a few of the new cd games. Wine can also be changed to be able to play certain cds it can not play...
