Win 7 Ultimate (64-bit), Win 7 Pro (32-bit) N. Calif |
Worst in what way? Usability, performance, support, available apps? Not sure which OS was worst. I never actually used ME, somehow skipped right over that one.
The OS I was most disappointed in was Mac OS X. The Mac people built that up to be such a fantastic OS, when I tried it I thought it was an OK OS, nothing fantastic about it. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built, Dell Inspiron 1520 Laptop
