I have a little project I have to do where I ask people what they prefer out of three things, so I chose computer 3 different software systems because hey, why not?

There are two questions I would like you to answer-
1 Which do you like better: Windows, Mac or Linux?
2 If windows and mac were free (the software mind you) and for Linux you received $100 (you would have to theoretically use the operating system that you choose and can not choose more then one)

My opinion is:
1.Linux
2.Linux
You may also describe why you chose the way you chose

Thank you for the time- Escartian

1) Windows due to the wide range of programs, better computers, and simplicity over dealing with linux. This might change once Microsoft releases Windows 8, they're doing an extraordinarily good job at ruining their OS.

2) I would still probably go with Windows.

1. Linux
2. Windows/Linux

There's really no doubt in my mind Linux is the best choice, I just haven't used it in ages and I'm so used to Windows. In reality, people should be payed for putting up with Apple products.

better computers


I'm sorry, this is about software not hardware.

1. Windows. But I'm also a Mac fan, though I don't own one. Windows has more programs that are compatible with it, and I'm used to the interface. Linux is just....ugh for me.

2. Windows. One hundred quid is a poor incentive to change.

1. Mac. Just because I prefer them. But I also use linux sometimes. Don't like windows at all, even though their are more games for it.

2. Still would go for a Mac.

1. Windows
2. Windows

Windows has for more compatibility and is far superior when gaming. If stable gaming was capable on Linux I would definitely use it. Windows is also overpriced, despite the great OS it is.

Orly? I'm talking about computer made for Windows, as opposed to any built for OSX. I've never used linux so I'm not considering it in either of my choices.
