I like to use the Mac OS, but for programming I like to use Linuz. In a way, each has its own advantages. I can't wait to start testing Longhorn. Tekimagic, didn't you say your dad was part of the developer network, and that he has a legal copy of it?

I use all three main OS at home, but I prefer to use Mac OSX as Macs have been my prefrence for about six years, ever since getting into graphic design and film editing. Most Linux OS have a GUI for users.

They are open source, which allows for editing and command input, but they are not command driven. However, my dad used to have an old C64, which was completely command driven
