Your opinion on OSs

[Dalamar]

Windows XP is my primary machine which is most unfortunate but it has all my software on it including games that are not available on anything but Windblows.  Besides, it makes me so happy when it tells me how I need to use it better with all it's helpful prompts and wizards.  I had no idea I was using  computers so incorrectly until XP came along and told me.   :-o

I use AmigaOS3.9 for whatever I can instead of using the "most helpful" XP.  I also use Gentoo Linux and Windows 2003 server for server side activities.  btw 2003 Server is also very helpful at identifying all the things I've been doing with servers incorrectly for all these years as well.   I like Gentoo because emerge is your friend and makes dependencies and such a snap.  Amiga is what I would call my "most fun" OS/computing platform and my true reason for loving computing.  If Microsoft was all I had, I'd be living in a hut on an island and would never touch the things.  

I believe I've stated that professionaly and personally Microsoft has removed all of the fun from computing for me.  This explains why I'm here.    :-D

I suppose I should add that I support Windows/Linux servers for a living. :oops:

This is true.  Apps for an OS make it appealing.  Linux is just now coming around to become a more appealing client platform.  I support MS products for the most part, though recent events are making me find alternative OS's for work related solutions and I'm fortunate to be in a position to make those kinds of decisions.  For the standard office user, MS has the market, no question.  It stinks, but it's true.  This is also why my MS PC has most of my productivity apps.  My alternative solutions at work revolve around Linux at this point for lack of anything better to choose from.  End user training is the big hitch when it comes to changing out the client OS, and ease of deployment is the second major issue.   Because of both of these issues, it would be difficult for Amiga to get to that point (productivity application issue aside).   :-(   Right now I use my Amiga for fun and as a hobby because it has restored some of that passion that originally got me into all of this to begin with.

Who knows what the future will hold.
