Favourite OS has to be Windows 7 x64. I run OS X ML in VM for Xcode etc and I have given Ubuntu tons of chances over the last 7 years; I just always come back to Windows.
Windows has all the applications I want - my CAD software and suspension geometry software for Uni; I prefer the layout and look of the OS over Mac and Ubuntu; every single piece of hardware I ever buy already has fully functional drivers built; there's tons of reasons why I prefer Windows over everything else.
Another big reason is that having to use the command line for simple tasks in Ubuntu is an absolute pain in the arse. I'm perfectly comfortable with using any CLI, I just feel I shouldn't have to be inconvenienced by having to use one to do something like install a new package or an update.
- jfaucett 14y agoGood points. Looks like windows might have the upper hand for your field. Its kinda funny the thing you mention with the package updates, yum(or apt-get) install is actually one of my favorite features on a linux box :)
- anujkk 14y agoIt might be a case of preference but I particular like using the "apt-get" to install new packages or updates. However, in Ubuntu, if you don't want to use CLI, there are GUI options available - Ubuntu Software Center and Update Manager.
