What's the best operating system overall? Judging criteria should include: performance, security, usability, stability, compatibility, and any other bility you can think of.

If you can think of any other OS's then nominate them these are just what came to mind at the moment.

You can also choose a multisystem setup or say something like Linux with the ability to run windows virtually using VMware.

So really the only limitation is that you have to be able to run the system or systems on one computer (or server). Meaning you can't say: "well I'd have a windows computer set up for this and a mac set up for that and that's my ideal"

Well, I think the Tuxheads might push Linux home, but some find you can't get along without windows, and then there's always the Mac people.

So without further ado:

LET"S GET READY TO RUMBLE!
