Operating system for desktop

Question

On an overall Which operating system is better for our system or laptop?

Vulpes · Answer

If you're using the Microsoft stack then Windows 7 is undoubtedly the best OS to use nowadays. Vista is crap and XP is showing its age.

Define better. Something that is better for me could be worse for you. Some people want to know what the operating system does and have the ability to specify how to do things. Some people don't want to be bothered about technical stuff. Windows typically does many things for us without telling us. That is so true that when Windows does tell someone that Windows is doing something people think there is something wrong. What is better? Do you need an OS that uses fewer resources or an OS that has more features?
