Best Computer System

What do you think is the best computer system? Microsoft, Linux, Mac, or any others?

I've used all three extensivly but I would have to go with Linux. Mac second and Windows third.

Linux is for stability.
Mac is graphics.
Windows is for playing solitaire.

hehehe

This has been an amazingly popular topic these past few days. I would say Linux for programming and just fooling around, and Windows for gaming.

Windows for gaming and Visual Studio, Mac OS for weird productivity shite that those graphics designers get paid big monies for, and Linux for everything else.

Im one day gonna buy Linux because I seriously dislike Microsoft now, too much Media and Flashi-ness rather then flexibility.

Its not just the Media and Flashi-ness, to me, it's everything. I've been working with Windows forever and I am tired of it! I tried Mac OS X but idk if I like it or not. I've seen Linux in action but my friend really doesnt like it. My physics teacher said he played around with every OS and Solaris became his favorite. Right now, I'm in the phase of switching OSs and choosing between Linux, Fedora, or Solaris 10.

Fedora Core 4, known as Fedora is just another distro of Linux.
