What operating system do you use most frequently? What operating systems have you ever used? What operating system do you like the most? What do you do in your favorite operating system? Alright, I'll tell you now, I use Windows XP as a secondary OS, and Ubuntu is my primary boot. Ubuntu is free, has no problems with security (unlike Windows), and has tons of neat programs you can wade through using its installer program, Synaptic Package Manager. You can also get a legally free Flash editor (old version but still good) for Linux (Ubuntu is a Linux OS). I'm going to try that out shortly. The only big thing Ubuntu lacks is DirectX, and, as everyone knows, almost every commercial quality game uses DirectX, so I boot into WinXP to play my games.

XP is far from convenient. It costs lots of money. Also, if you find out your so-called convenience allows someone to take over your PC from over the internet, I hope you remember Ubuntu. I must agree, though, that Windows is everywhere, and most commercial software requires it.

I used XP,Linux XP is the friendly user operating system but Linux is command oriented for those who is not having command in Linux and prefers user-friendly you can go to XP but I prefer to use Linux so that you can only Linux commands and DOS commands and what other commands useful by operating system.

Currently I'm using windows 2000, My old computer had to be left behind when I moved and that was XP I updated the current one from windows ME to 2000 . I prefer XP it runs better for me and I know how to use it easier and don't have to update stuff all the time like I do on here.

I've using Windows 2000 frequently since my computer is old. I have 2 operating systems in my computer, the one is windows 2000 and the other is windows 98. Windows 98 for playing games, and windows 2000 for internet. If you have older computer try Xubuntu, it is must faster than Ubuntu
