First thing I have to say is: If you can afford it, GO MAC!

However, if you can’t, or don’t want to run OSX, here are my thoughts on the different operating systems for PCs:

Linux

Are you really good with computers and think you are ready to try something new for fun? If I were you, I’d try out Linux; it is free after all…. Keep in mind though, you may have to do some work to get the programs you use working, or have to get used to alternative programs. However, once you get used to the new layout and the new way of getting things done, I think you will be pleased, maybe even ready to try a different distribution.

Windows

Are you new to computer? Are you too lazy to try something new and have to re-learn a few things? This operating system is for you!

Free BSD

I recommend this for highly trained computer geeks that are willing to workout issues and maybe even help write some patches for it.

One more thing I have to say is: Cut it out with this “it isn’t compatible” crap… Everything is compatible with Linux, you just need to take the time to figure out HOW!

i like the computer i got right now. its a little slow but i do like it. now the dragon on the other hand is a phenominal machine and I would love to have it very powerful, and i cant wait to try the software out to.

It totally depends on whether the person has used a computer before and other factors, such as what computer they bought, what they have their eye on and other things like that. For myself, the first computer my father bought was a Windows 95 PC and well, I am now on a Windows Vista Home Premium computer. I have never used a Mac before because I have gotten so use to a PC and Windows. Windows is what I have used for many, many years now and what I believe, is so easy to use and handy. I don’t have any thoughts/comments on a Mac since I have never used one.

i think the topic should be what os fits what kinds of people!! its not the os that is searching for someone its people searching for the right os!!
