When Microsoft bought HotMail, it ran on FreeBSD, and was very reliable. Then they moved it to Windows. That was a disaster, so they moved it back to FreeBSD. Then they moved it back to Windows, and it once again lacks reliability.

FreeBSD, a Unix flavor (like Linux,) is the most stable OS. Mac OS X is based on FreeBSD, and Yahoo uses FreeBSD exclusively.

If you're a gearhead, I'd look to that, otherwise I'd use Mac OS X. If you need specialized software, like dental office management software, I'd use Windows. Otherwise, stay away from Windows because 1) its pathetic and 2) Microsoft is an evil corporation. Very evil.
