As the title asks, what is your favourite Operating System and why do you consider it your favourite?
Operating system refers to the software that your phone/pc/tablet/other device runs on.
I'll go first:
I personally like Windows 7 for a full blown computing experience. Its very easy to use, very tweakable for basic tweaking. Its built around a physical keyboard and mouse unlike Windows 8 which was clearly designed for touch screen gestures and the Windows 7 Start Menu is much more functional for quicker and more serious program usage.( I feel like windows 8's tiles are just for media consumption vs any serious production.)
I also like Google's Android and Apple's iOS. I have had a few Android Tablets and none of them performed anything close to or as reliable as the iPad. For that reason alone I love iOS as its always on point when I need it.
I do like Android a lot more however, its the OS I like to tinker with and play around with most. Hence I choose this for a phone since I always have my phone and if I ever need to do something "out of the ordinary" i'm almost guaranteed an easy route to getting it done via an android. The downside to android is that without permission managers, there are tons of rogue apps thats just want your personal data.
