Windows Vs. Mac Vs. Linux

[gamfrkI]

post which is better

Windows
Pros:

• almost every pc game is playable on it
• windows is free with pre built comps
• has lots of software that is free or can buy

Cons:

• if its not protected it will get viruses,spyware,malware,etc
• random crashes
• expensive to buy

Mac
Pros:

• more secure than windows
• no defragging
• ipods work better on a mac

Cons:

• very expensive comps
• os cost 2 times more than windows
• some windows programs are not compatible yet

Linux
Pros:

• its FREE
• more secure than windows
• lots of programs that windows has but for free

Cons:

• some linux os'es are complicated to use
• gaming
• not everything is compatible(software/hardware)

if i had to chose which i would go with ill be windows just cuz i play lots of pc games then linux cuz its free and never a mac

Oh my god I had a whole thing typed up and I accidently double pressed my home button trying to make my music come up and it was the disable backgrounding button sequence so it disable the backgrounding on mobile safari and closed it and I lost my whole speech about Linux the point was just freakin forget it. lol

Bahaha Ive had that happen before. It sucks!

I would have to say I would prefer WINDOWS. Your right about protecting it. Well heres how mines protected:

Should be on every windows:
Disk Defragmenter
Disk Cleanup

Anti-Anything:
Ad-Aware
SpywareBlaster
VIPRE
AVG Free 9.0
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
Spybot - Search and Destroy
SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition

Cleanup:
Auslogics Registry Cleaner
CCleaner
Defraggler
nCleaner
Smart Defrag
Auslogics Disk Defrag

Internet Safety:
ZoneAlarm Security
COMODO Firewall
PeerBlock

Other:
WinPatrol

Now, do you really think your getting anywhere near my PC. Nothing can harm me!!

LOL. Windows isn't impenetrable. You need something to stop attackers once they've gotten in. Got anything like that? I've got a DDOS file here on my pc. It's set to DDOS you if you make it past my firewall and I don't approve of your connection... How amazing is that? :3

Well thats what most the antivirus are for. AVG has some capabilities to stop something once its past but very little. VIPRE has heuristics that are VERY nice so I trust that. And almost every action that happens is run through COMODO (not just firewall but thats how its listed) and so I can moniter that. Do you run windows or Linux, cause I know its not a Mac lol

for cleanup is use CCleaner and Defraggler

I wasn't talking about viruses. I was talking about hackers. Obviously what is a DDOS file going to do me against a virus? Anyway, I was talking about a hacker. Firewalls aren't completely protective... So if and when a hacker gets past my firewall, the DDOS file does it's work and oh... look at that, the hacker can no longer access the internet from that computer. Amazing. :3

Oh, and I run WinXP Pro Corporate Edition with Linux Fedora Core 13... Dual boot is amazing, no? ;3

i like Windows as a primary OS and Linux as a secondary/backup OS. but i don't like how difficult it is to install most programs in linux or the lack of hardware support for it.

[Kherr]

I've never had a problem with Fedora Core #, it has always detected my hardware. Either way, I feel the same. Windows OS Primary, Linux Secondary. Can't game efficiently from Linux, and don't say WINE because that's not a solution. :p

Any game that doesnt run natively in Linux is not worth running at all.
I think I will be switching to Fedora 21 myself when it comes out but not sure if I will keep Windows when I do.
