For me its windows. I have nothing against linux and have used it in the past it just isn't compatible with enough programs for me. If it had more windows programs on it i would probably use it all the time.

I will prefer windows xp. Because I feel the Linux isn't working well , I need to remember many orders and codes .And you couldn't use some common softs ,but you can use on windows. So I feel useing linux inconvenient .

I prefer windows and i'm using it as:
‡It is easy to use than Linux.
‡It is more Stable and Reliable.
‡It is perfect for me I dont care what others think.
‡Windows dominates in the desktop and PC markets with about 90% of the markets share.

I see many Linux fans say that Linux has no virus. You don't need antivirus with the little penguin.
Well I say, just because it knows no virus doesn't mean it has no virus at all. Virus creators always target the most popular O/S, and since Windows is very popular, it becomes favourites for virus. Virus creator looks for popularity. Why infecting minor O/S if you can target the big one?
As for the thread starter, I prefer Windows. It's all about compability and knowledge base support and I hate to remember command line. Too many of them will kill you.

Couple of months ago I used to have windows SP but then my buddy told me about the Linux and features. Impressed with my buddy I installed Linux - Ubuntu 8.04. And boy, I liked the Linux very much that I use Windows XP as less a possible. I think most people fear Linux as it has complicated image in masses.

Just like everybody else, I prefer Windows. I've tried and currently running on Linux, Ubuntu Hardy Heron to be exact. Well Windows a lot more user friendly. I been using it since I was about eleven or twelve and will be using it until I die! haha :-p

I pefer linux. I am using ubuntu hardy heron.
Linux is so easy to use. I know most of the people think otherwise, but to start with you should go with ubuntu and will realise how easy to use it is.
I have got a perfect substitute to every windows application(except quality games) on linux and that too free. No more trial versions as on windows.
No need of antivirus.
