From the beginning to our current endpoint. I'd have to say XP was my favorite. Didn't crash on me once in the almost-decade that I used it. Windows 98 comes in second.

I'll be getting Vista 64-bit soon. Hopefully that'll be good. I know XP started out sucky and became awesome, so hopefully Vista will do the same.

Windows 3.11 w/ networking was my favorite because it was the first windows that really got to learn.

Mac OS X Leopard :P

XP is pretty great compared to vista- however, vista isn't all that bad either and Direct X 10 can make some games look amazing.

I just wish vista didn't have so many weird quirks (random indexing, windows media player crashes, security confirmation popups, SLI issues etc)

The WMP crashes are why I switched back to winamp.

My Goodness BtC... a fellow Amiga user, I still have my poor old Amiga 500 with my 20 MB side car hard drive... it is in a box in my basement... I did love that computer, too bad Commodore sucked so bad at marketting that they turned the single best computer platform into an also ran in under 4 years.
