My preferred OS is Linux. Because it is easier to use and hassle free than Windows.

I use Arch Linux btw.

Hey Vinoth, Welcome to TDF (thinkdigit forum) :)

Here's probably the first argument question for you: :-D
So, you are saying since, digit disc contains mostly, ".exe" files, Windows is the MOST preferred OS??

Windows 7 Pro, Vista. Will start using Ubuntu soon. BTW, its good to see a healthy chunk of Linux users.

but nothing can beat windows in that its the best start for computer noobs...


I don't think its that straight forward. A noob may feel comfortable with whatever he comes across first, Windows, Mac, Linux. Its only when you have a certain level of knowledge etc. you can actually compare things and see the +ve/-ve of them.

I disagree. I find Ubuntu more simple than Windows and even my noob friends find it simple. I mean you don't have to care about antivirus or piracy or anything. Its app center is far far better than windows which don't have one and you have to use about 20 softwares to determine which is best for you ans there there are recommendations and rating and what not. So would say that Ubuntu is far simpler than windows its just that noobs don't know about it at all.

Even installation of Ubuntu is a simple affair, as far as my experience with version 7-8 goes. I hope newer installation routines have become even easier. Windows 7 has improved over XP in this matter though.

not quite, ubuntu/mint are the best starting points. little to no tweaking required to run most applications, no a/v needed, boots like greased lightning, and keeps the user away from the nitty-gritty.

yeah, im surprised too, didnt expect linux to have such a huge share. wake up windows, the times are a-changin'.

laptop : crunchbang/win7 dual boot
desktop : crunchbang

@Anish, nice pic.

anyone tried bsd here???

Yeah many countries have also moved from windows to Linux. I hope that happens in India. A lot of money would be saved for other purpose.

Windows xp installation is not easy by any means. 'beginners' probably wont be able to install it.

But yes, the same "beginers" should be able to install Win 7 or Vista easily.

Particularly, if you set your Sata HDD to AHCI mode and don't have a floppy drive installed. ;)

Win7 using now. I like it. No virus issues, slowdown, etc.

But I prefer XP coz it supports anything everything unlike Win7 with many compatibility issues. My ol' good softwares like hand vu is not working in Win7
