AFAIK, WindowsXP is the most stable operating system nowadays. Vista is okay, more on visuals but lesser than performance. plus, it's a memory hog. 2GB is fine, but it still be recommending a 4GB RAM running on your system to acquire the smoothness.

yung ibang mga gamers, kaya nag Vista dahil hinahabol nila yung DirectX10 for the "Eye Candy" thing on their gaming. regardless if its a 32bit or 64bit. I'm also a Hardcore gamer but still won't risk my common applications that will not run on Vista for the sake of the little additional eye candy on my gaming.

actually kasi self-preferences lang talaga yang OS, depende sa kung ano ba ang hilig mong gawin sa computer at san ka mas sanay.

Traditional Preferences:

Linux = servers, hardcore programmers, and hackers
MAC = Multimedia such as Video/Graphics editing
Windows = can do all above

yup, wala kasing backdoor ang Linux, para kasi yang DOS. pero in hacking, you need a reliable internet connection also.

dati naman nasubukan naming mag pa down ng internet connection ng isang internet cafe sa Green Hills using Linux Shell Accounts, 50 ginamit galing sa iba't ibang bansa, tinesting namin dun sa isang ka-chat ng barkada na friend din nya na malapit ng mag time-out. since miRC yung gamit na client, kita ang IP address at hindi sya naka Vhost or Eggdrop kaya kuha namin yung IP. tri-nay naming i-ping yung IP, maya maya lang ay na disconnect within 5 secs.

Pag Windows naman ang gamit, wag ka lang mag a-accept ng mga suspicious files, kasi Trojan lang naman talaga ang magiging cause ng pagka hack mo. galing na din kasi ako sa "underground" dati. kausuhan pa ng Sub7 at Nuke. lol.

I have basically used every OS probably apart from Linux but I would say my favorite of all is the MAC Leopard
