I have a Mac, or rather I have several Macs, and decided to try out Parallels Desktop to see whether Windows had anything to offer. Well, it's really nice to be able to run Windows on a Mac, but I have to say, having tried it out I don't ever see myself using it. The operating system is just so condescending, from the horrible little ditty it plays to the smugly "helpful" but awful way it presents itself to the user. Sure, it probably works well enough, but compared to Mac OSX it's a complete wash-out. br / br /However, if it's as stable as some people say it is, it might come in useful if ever I have to run a programme that's only available for Windows ... Heaven help me!
Win XP the best--at least for the next year September 1, 2007

I use my computer for a fair bit of gaming (as far as the hardware allows) and in this respect windows is the only way to go. Almost all of the games I own are poorly compatible with macs or linux. I have used Win xp pro with SP2 (or xp home with SP2)for the past two years and the only time I experienced blue screens repeatly was when my hard drive was on the verge of failing (so not the OS's fault). It does everything an OS can be expected to do: greatest compatibility with third-party programs, good stability, doesn't hog resources (compared to vista). The only gripe I have is MS will probably stop supporting xp in order to push their appalling vista!
