You should either add mac and linux variants or at least change the title to favorite Windows Operating system?

Having ME and further back is totally pointless. There's no way possible people could like any version older than XP more than XP or newer. And yes, you need more OSs listed other than just Windows if you're going to make the topic that ambiguous.

XP definently. I got my feet wet and learned the basics in DOS, then got really into computing in the 98 and XP era.

I'm going to be really straightforward with my opinion of this poll:

This is stupid.
I don't mean to be rude but this poll doesn't really make any sense (read above posts too).
But if you do wish to continue with it, there is no one stopping you.

Also, please change your title to "Your favourite Windows operating system". I know this is in the "Windows" section anyway but it would be better if you did as most people don't really look at the section when the come to the thread from the "Latest Discussions" feed on the main page.

Since when does Vista not have UAC? UAC started with Vista. You can have it on or off in either OS.

Who said Vista doesn't have UAC?

Getting owned by UAC is the reason most people hated Vista, and I lol every time it owns them.

Chances are if it is owning you, you can't figure out how to shut it off either.
