My overall favorite OS was OS/2 Warp. It was incredibly stable and had many features that were way ahead of it's time. It included Windows 3.1 and DOS compatibility, so it could run most of the PC applications that were available at the time.
At this point, I stick with M$ OSs because of their wide spread adoption. If 80% of the world is using the same OS, then that's probably where the jobs are.
However, I agree with others who say that it depends on your requirements...
Price
Performance
Capacity
Support
Stability
Flexibility
Application availability
Recoverability
Scalability
Security
Monitoring
Form factor
Connectivity
etc...
Each OS has its strengths and weaknesses in these areas and many others. It's more appropriate to discuss OS strengths and weaknesses in specific areas than to ask flat out which is better.

AmigaDOS rules!
NeXt was pretty cool.
I hate these types of threads.
-
Dang corp, I was gonna say Amiga :(
NeXT sucked, although I did have a lot of fun with it. Those NeXT Step machines were just so silly.

Ok, so it can't multitask or support 32bit, but who needs it!
I say, go with classic DOS 2.0 :D
I'm a 3.3 man myself, but "to each his own"
:cool:

Actually, my favority DOS version was 6.1 :)
But hey, "to each his own"...
wait, you said that ;)

Well I liked dos 6.2 all those windows and icons are for weaklings.
If you talking current about witch is the best current os I would have to say windows XP. I feel that Linux comes up a little short as a viable desktop os. Mac OS X is a step in the right direction but I used it last semester for one of my courses and it gave me trouble to no end so I can't recommend it unless you need to do lots of video editing.

Geoworks rocks!!!
Damned Operating System - DOS
I do video editing on my PC. Looks quite good. Anyway.

I heard no one mention about FreeBSD.Its my favourite.

Yeah Dos was a classic or even windows 3.0 lol is quite stable in my opion
