    You're kidding, right?

    Sadly, of the three top DESK/LAP TOP O/S, HERE is how they work out!

    WINDOWS
    UNIX VARIANTS
    MAC O/S(probably less than 6% of the market)

    Of course, for network/performance areas, UNIX variants are a LOT better.
    If it is academic or graphic, MAC O/S does a lot better.

    BTW For windows, NT 32 bit, that can run on a 64 bit platform are the best.

        Somebody might have relabled it, but I doubt it. The EOL for windows XP was right around when the netbooks became popular. MS had to give up a HUGE market, or capitulate.

      Cool. I'm guessing I'm the one that brought Linux up to 5.2 from 5.1 last month when I installed Ubuntu

    I have an Mac OS snow leopard installed in my PC with AMD X2 processor and ECS A740GM-M Motherboard, but if you wanna develop something for Mac, you need to study shell scripting, Java and C++ languages.

      I noticed you have a smiley face next to windows Vista - I am glad you like it.

      I have to say I am sorry I ever bought a laptop with Vista
      it can be the most confounded OS I have ever had...a stopgap at best.

      Many users given the choice of systems with their new purchase from some dealers
      took XP over vista... I soon discovered why -

      And I wish everyone with it would join to file a class action suit against MSN for a
      free upgrade to 7 or a free copy of XP !
      Let's turn into !

      Anyone with me?

    XP is best if your friend is so new in this field, because its more user friendly than other operating systems. I am also using on my two PC's in my home and so much satisfying with its uses.
