Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y PCMag compared Ubuntu, Windows, and Mac OS X to one another. "Now that the major OSs all run on Intel chips, the playing field is pretty leveled out. We compared the heavy hitters in an eight-point test to find who wins the OS battle."

Since i have linux,Mac Os X, and Windows XP installed on my pc, let me make some observations.
Unless you are some teenage dork who plays high powered games
all the time or you need to use Photoshop in connection with your job,
it is ludicrous to use Windows as your main operating system.
Mac Os X is the coolest looking and easiest to use of the three
operating systems. But all the best applications cost a fair amount of
money. Now that Mac Os X can be run on a pc, it's a whole new ballgame.
Linux , and i am referring to only the top 10 or so distros listed on
Distrowatch's hit list, Is easy to use, very easy to install,comes with more
programs than most people would ever need, and is very secure. I
would say that if i could only have one of the three os'es, it would be
linux.
In conclusion i would say that in terms of usage, i use Mac OS X Tiger
80%, linux 15%, and Windows XP 5% (Dvd Decrypter and Dvd Shrink).
