Gentlemen, gentlemen... I think you *both* need to buy a clue. Ask yourself
this question:

Who *gives* a @#$% what the "best" operating system is? 

The "best" operating system, for those who don't know, is the one that is
a) easiest for you to understand, and b) gets done what you want to get done.
Which basically means that this whole damn argument is 
a) pointless
b) stupid
c) entirely off-topic

So can we just shut the hell up and talk about Descent, or Doom, or 
PC hardware, and NOT what OS is supposedly the best?

Now, back to more arguments on this matter, because people can't seem to find
the intelligence to shut up about it.
