- - What Operating System (OS) do you like the most? (http://forum.vcoderz.com/showthread.php?t=20599)

What are the options?

Windows ,linux , Mac?

using windows due to work..

Used linux and redhat ..

Never for mac ...

Not so many options really

I used to use windows for my whole life and some Linux Distros.

But after i started buying all Apple products, OS X Lion has become my main OS as well as iOS on the iDevices.

Their synchronization and integration is just genius, and everything just works.

As a desktop i have the new mac-mini, which costs nearly same as a regular pc, and guess what, it runs Windows 7 if i ever need it, and runs it faster than a regular PC!

Now that i upgraded to iPhone 4S, i can't wait for them to integrate Siri into OS X, it would be better than the speech feature we have now.

To all the iHaters out there, i'd just say give it a try before taking a decision, and if you don't like it it's fine, but if you do, welcome to the club.

Windows 7 is the best that Microsoft has ever done. it is beautiful and very agile and still secure for now. No need to format it anymore, just don't be stingy in hardware, hardware is already cheap.

I also like sometimes to work on Linux, however to my opinion linux is becoming more and more ugly, the favorite linux I loved is the REDHAT 6 ( pre-enterprise era ) even though it lacked a lot of drivers support.
all the new ones are loaded with driver support but are desperately trying to imitate windows when it comes to desktop GUI and they are failing to do so ....

why immitate windows !! be original, do something new, now I know you can compile your own distro but I am not up to this level so I can't do that nor I am fascinated by linux desktop K or Gnome, even the old Gnome RedHat 6 looked better than nowadays linux.

Besides, why there's no place in Lebanon that has all linux distros yet ?! I go to da7ieh a lot, however I can't find but ubuntu !! damn !! it hurts. besides why aren't their an ACTIVE linux community in Lebanon.

I remember they created a linux group in my university that is connected to LLUG but when I saw their demo and came to talk to them about it, I realized that they were nothing but a bunch of typical Lebanese mentalities who don't help nor have time to cooperate or spend to teach others and spread the word about linux and last I knew, they weren't near knowledgeable at all !! and if someone knows something, they don't tell you about it.

I hope one day I can find and meet people who are interested in Linux where we can share info and learn from each others.

Dude, you know nothing about Linux and for your information RedHat is Unix not Linux.
Have you took a look at Fedora 15 with Gnome 3?

RedHat is Linux, CentOS is RedHat based and both are Linux distributions.
On the other hand Mac OS is Unix-based.
