Windows XP or Linux?
-
Hi everyone, I was just wondering what people in this forum preferred, Windows XP or Linux, i personally use Windows XP as I have been using Windows the majority of my life. However i have used Linux, some time ago when I installed it on my Laptop, i found it Ok considering it was a free source piece of software. Although Windows does offer functions that are not present on Linux such as disc defragmentation and disc clean up, such utility software is vital to some. So, What do you prefer, Windows or Linux? Thanks

as a windows developer, i use visual studio and thus my environment is windows xp. since i work at home and at work, i'm still forced to use windows xp. (not that it's bad) but i always have a dual boot into some fresh linux distro (openSUSE 10.3 and waiting to try ubuntu 7.10) on my laptop, cause i always like to play with those, but never get the chance to fully use them. my downloading machine at home is with openSUSE 10.2 (gonna get updated :)) and it also acts as a full time VPN server, web/ftp personal server and handles local routing/filtering. uptime exceeds 1 year, and runs marvelously, also it plays the movies at home. conclusion: i know XP all too well, thus i work faster with it. i work with XP and all my programs are designed for Windows. other software i use (Adobe Suite, 3Ds MAX .. ) aren't available in linux. since i'm also a gamer, linux ain't for gaming. thus XP.
