Pic doesn't work.

Mac = Ease of Use
Linux = More powerful and more flexible
Windows = More compatible (especially for games)

I am currently on a game rig I built last year running Windows XP but will toss a flavor of linux on a second hard drive for all my non-gaming needs. Leaning towards Mandrake right now. Not sure. Either way, I will not vote because they all have their postives and negatives.

Yes...they all have their pros and cons...that's why it's good to have a little taste of everything ;) And yeah...the pic isn't working...

That doens't make any sense. That's going to suck when I get mine if the base station doesn't work :?

For the moment i am sticky to windows but if linux gets more mainstream i will try it also if more games developers make it a major consideration as a OS.

linux rocks. have you guys ever tried knoppix? its a live boot linux cd that runs linux. just put the cd or dvd in your drive and boot off of it. knoppix will start with a simple press of the enter key without installing anything on your hard drive. when you're done in linux just eject the cd and reboot. windows starts up like it never knew anything else was there. its a good way to try linux before committing to a full install and dual boot configuration.

knoppix homepage: http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html

Here are links to the .iso file that contains the knoppix image you burn directy to your cd/dvd.
