Windows 98 when I was a kid.
XP while I was growing up, and as my adulthood playground!
Vista for a short try. Didn't lasted very long.
Dual boot XP with Win 7 now. Seven to show off, but XP to work fast

Would try Linux pretty soon.

I use ubuntu 11.04 as primary os(thanks to doomgiver for recruiting onboard) and rarely windows 7 (have a dual boot).

I heard someone say about windows once
" Its hilarious to put 'windows' and 'security' in the same sentence"

but nothing can beat windows in that its the best start for computer noobs...

My preferred OS is Linux. Because it is easier to use and hassle free than Windows.

I use Arch Linux btw.

Hey Vinoth, Welcome to TDF (thinkdigit forum)

Here's probably the first argument question for you:
So, you are saying since, digit disc contains mostly, ".exe" files, Windows is the MOST preferred OS??
