If we are talking servers I would say Linux... if we are talking about home pc I'd say neither and choose Mac.

it depends on what you want to do.
if you want a good operating system, then it is linux or one of the unix based operating systems. if you want to take advantage of the noobs then it is windows. windows has so many fuck ups thier is room for everyone. |

exactly...it depends on what your primary work is...
For photographic imaging, publishing, music industry....has always used the mac For business applications....Windows has always been used because in the past, it's the most cost effective, but also, it's just where the industry went long ago instead of the mac. For servers....I agree...linux/unix Just incase no one has heard the latest on the Mac...I really encourage you to watch Steve Jobs Keynote address http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/wwdc05/ ....you will love this and to give you a hint, it has something to do with Intel ![]() Cheers |

For server? FreeBSD.
GNU/Linux is a toy, always has been and always will be since I first used it in 1993. |

Linux for hosting sites, etc. Windows for everything else (just my opinion - mostly because I hate dealing with all the bs associated with running apps from linux).

I currently use Windows XP on all my desktop machines. Linux for all our servers.
Was using Solaris previously, which scales way way better; but since we don't have anyone skilled enough in it anymore we have to use Linux. May change soon though.

I agree for games it has to be windows, only because there is not much support for linux and gaming. There are few native linux games, you can use cedega but that is slow.
Otherwise I would go with linux over windows any day. I have used linux for 9mos and yesterday received my mac mini so that is what I am using now. Kills windows, don't have to worry about viruses and everything works.

really? don't see to many enterprise class applications on free. Not that free/open are bad, they're great. But linux has marketing share, and backing from large corporations. free, well, doesn't. so no, gnu/linux is not a toy.
