# apart from it being
extremely basic until you give it emulation to run windows programs.

# *yawns*
I use a macbookpro that I bring to work, and switch between using that and the box running XP, which can connect to the various servers and clusters at work which run linux (or perhaps solaris).

all operating systems have their uses, none are rubbish, none are the best. :)

# No actually KDE is pretty rubbish
If you must use Linux then you either want Debian for stability or Ubuntu for cutting edge new features.

As for Macbook pro. Had one of thos for quite some time now. It's been in a closet, unused for over 6 months.

There is always going to be a best OS for an individual. And right now for me that's Win 7 RC1.

# true enough - everyone finds an OS that gets enough features 'right' for them
I do find using XP like having one hand tied behind my back, but from what little I've seen of vista, it looks much better, and I guess 7 will be slightly more so.

I should really make use of boot camp one day...

# I hate Vista.
I don't get it :(

BRING BACK WINDOWS 95!
