alcra Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 When I asked what was the best OS for my system I was referring to either Win XP or an alternative like Red Hat. Sorry for any confusion. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drimo Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 You want to play games, so put Windows XP on. Popular games do exist for linux, but not nearly as many as windows. Plus, windows will have better drivers for your system. No question about it, you'll have to use Windows XP for your intended uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NetRyder Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Windows XP for all your gaming needs,Mac OSX for all the pretty and serious stuff ... There always has to be a smartass... Ok, did you see the specs of his machine in the first post? Yes? Good. Now go tell Steve Jobs to allow OS X to be ported to the x86 platform, and then you can recommend it all you want. :rolleyes: Until then, your post is pointless. Thanks. You can go back here now.

Yeah lets see..umm the comment about xp suited the thread...and the additon of OSX only helped to show what are the two best OS even though they are on different platforms. Obviously the answer for PC is Windows XP. So don't be a troll next time just to ramp up your post count...you'll do us all a favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threetonesun Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Windows 95, then you can go back and play all those DOS games without having to use compatibiliy mode. Fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the answer for PC is Windows XP. So don't be a troll next time just to ramp up your post count...you'll do us all a favor. I'm being a troll? Yeah, good joke...and nice picture too. I'll be saving that for future use. The point is, OS X really has no place in this thread. Read the first post, and think again. The original question asked was what would be the best OS for his PC. There's no need for the Mac zealots to stop by and post their 2 cents everytime they get a chance to. I'm surprised how that doesn't qualify as "trolling." Or should I go to every thread in the Mac section and post information about XP, simply because both of them are "the two best OS even though they are on different platforms." I doubt that would be taken in good spirit. Think before you post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the Toronto Zoo's Polar Bear exhibit. But maybe these things look the same in every city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
