Hey! Sorry for the late reply. I'm still amazed how everybody on deviantart says 'thanks' whenever you favorite something they did. It's cool.

This past summer I did use Windows 7 on a brand new HP laptop (so it had a huge LCD screen + ran superfast) and I was impressed to see the integration of powershell and the new logging facilities. Still, though, the charm wore off for me + I found myself getting irritated with it ... I don't do that with other OSes (OSX, BSD, Linux). I think it's because fundamentally I still see it as that horrible Win 3.11 for Workgroups from my childhood ... that is, just some menu/window program running on DOS. I know that's not true + it runs with the Unix-comparable NT kernel but ... that's just me.

Not sure if PC-BSD is quite ready for primetime but it certainly could be. I'm really impressed with the user-friendliness that's come into distros like Linux Mint over the past handful of years. That's a ton of work

I guess I just try to see all the positive aspects of operating systems. (Not suggesting you don't, either). I think my favorite OS of all time, and the one I wish I was on all of the time, is the BeOS. (Well, or VMS running X-Windows/Motif).

I have fond memories of BeOS and VMS... Ahh well, both gone for the most part. I really still hold out hope for Haiku... but I am growing old rapidly and Haiku still hasn't reached a state where I can run special network security and Java tunneling applications, which I would need.
