Windows 7

I'm not sure I'd consider watching Lindsay Lohan and Scarlett Johannsen together a bad day.

Definately not, would be time for a nice pot noodle, kebab flavour

Have you tried Linux?

I think this could be a good advertising slogan for Microsoft:

Have you tried Linux?

I've lost count of how many times I've tried linux
You stop trying after a while

I find Linux very trying.

For all its foibles and security holes, at least Windows just works (most of the time).

I've been using Windows 7 since the first release candidate was made available several months ago (free), and have no complaints except one big bloody annoying gripe - see below.

For a start, it seems like they have "de-bloated" Windows, no doubt because of the influence of Mobile Windows. But then as I am using a top-spec PC, maybe their customary bloat is still there, more so than ever, but just less noticeable.

My main complaint is that unbelievably Adobe _still_ haven't released a proper 64-bit Flash player, and I can't be arsed to keep dipping in and out of 32-bit Internet Explorer (especially when I far prefer Firefox).

It's a real irritation and almost equally baffling. I mean what are Adobe playing at? How hard can it be to tweak and recompile their poxy Flash player for 64-bit ?!

Maybe some sneaky deal with Google/Apple

Run 32-bit Firefox then. Simples.

They've done it for Linux too, so it's not like they don't have x64 compatible code. They just haven't built it for Windows.
