So many operating systems, how is one to choose, and which one is 'best'?
Well, there's no real answer for that. If I had to choose on that's 'best', I'd have (to my own chagrin) choose Windows, and more specifically, Windows XP. Windows Vista really is a PoS unfortunately, and though there are a few cool things there, it's the first Microsoft operating system since Windows 95 that I really haven't been wow'ed by. Microsoft has made huge strides with almost every release of their operating systems with the exception of 'Windows ME' and 'Windows Vista', which truly were disappointments to me and to the geek community as a whole, as I can gather.
If I had to choose a 'next best', it would be OS X. OS X has some amazing things going for it and it truly is an amazing operating system - some of its features I really pine for when using a Windows machine. If you're a 'real' geek and have written off Macs as many geeks have, give them the opportunity to wow you. Many hardcore geeks have switched to using OS X as their primary OS, and Apple manages to have that 'wow' factor about its products that extremely few companies have been able to pull off (e.g. the iPhone - how much marketing and hype did the press and others do to market the product? Most companies would do anything short of (and possibly including) murder to get that kind of self-perpetuating publicity. Whether you're a believer or not, you have to admit Apple has something 'going on'.
