I think that Windows are better because they are cheaper and you have mroe compatibility with games and stuff. You just need antivirus.

Until gameguard enabled games become compatible with other OSes, windows is the best.

Even though Coolza's sig states otherwise, Windows isn't that bad. It gets the job done, at a reasonable price.

Mac and Windows are pretty much the same to me. I need Windows for my games and I need Mac for video editing, but Mac seems better for everyday things [email, net, chat, music].

Mac OS sux for games though...

I guess if ~$300 is reasonable to you...

Just better in what sense? It is costlier, less efficient, and non-opensource, compared to nix OS', which satisfy all three.

Most GameGuard enabled games are actually playable on either Cedega or WINE. Granted, Cedega costs money, but it IS a solution.

Mac (I assume you mean OSX) OSX is better in what respect? It too is proprietary like Windows. Were Apple and Microsoft's corporate market share reversed, I imagine your flow chart would go something like: "Windows > Linux > Anything really crappy > Mac." Just because something is the new "fad" does not mean it is actually worth it.

Are you seriously claiming that something that costs a minimum of $190 costs less than something that is free (Linux)?! That is just preposterous so I won't bother with your other comments. ;)

Used Windows for many many years and then bought a Mac two years ago. I'm never getting a PC again. Macs all the way!

I don't know about Linex, but I've heard good things about it.

Just because something is free doesn't mean that it's better. I've been using Windows for years, and I will continue to use it. Microsoft is not as bad as people claim. All the mistakes that people hold against them are bound to happen to any company that is as large as Microsoft.
