Microsoft Windows Vista on one, Windows and Ubuntu Linux on the other.
I recently put Ubuntu (Linux) on one of my computers and have so far had a very good experience with it. So much so that I think I will convert my other one to it as well (currently it has Windows XP). I only wish I had done this long ago and skipped all those years of suffering under Microsoft's garbage products.
Windows XP for regular PC
Windows 7 and Linux Ubuntu dualboot for laptop
Android 4 for tablet
I have a lot of computers so this list is a bit longer but here goes - Desktop: Windows 8 and Windows 7; My Laptop: Windows 7 and Ubuntu; WIfe's Laptop: Windows Vista; Work Laptop: Windows 7, Chrome OS, Android. In my opinion Chrome OS fits 95% of everyone's needs as it is simply an internet browser with a little extra functionality. I'm yet to hear of a Chromebook getting a virus and you can log into your version from anywhere in the world.
Window XP on my work computer, Window 7 on my home laptop. I like the desktop button on the lower right corner, it is very convenient for me.

by BristolBoy 15 years ago
I am not sure how many people have seen the news and even how many people care, but it appears that Google is planning on launching an operating system. Originally this will be just for netbooks but it may also be used on desktops. It is apparently designed for ease of use with the...
