Hundreds of debates, countless flames, innumerable passionate supporters, no limits, no ending lines, no result. The conflicts keep on going and going and going. It doesn't matter if it's Cisco's IOS, Microsoft's Windows, Suse's Linux or FreeBSD. People struggle to prove their
platform's superiority ignoring that an Operating System is just a tool focusing on specific needs.

The best media OS?
Do you mean for creation or for playback? Games or films?
For playback, probably a TV set with a DVD player and home cinema gear
is better than any computer - of course all these boxes contain
microprocessors with some kind of OS.
For creation - there are various tasks. The Mac seems to be the most
popular with musicians, but the transition from OS 9 to OS X is not
smooth. There are plugins etc which have not yet been converted.
For video editing - some like the Toaster (Windows), others like Final
Cut (Mac), and so on - there is no answer.
For 3D rendering, you want the fastest hardware regardless of OS.
AFAIK QNX has no software for media work, and BeOS very little.
