I maybe don't have many years of experience with Linux, Unix, etc as other 
people in the list, but I can tell my personal opinion about OSes.

I think there is not a better OS but only a worse OS. The worse I think you can 
imagine (winblows) ;)
So when people ask to me such questions I answer that all depends what you want 
to do with your OS. Still do not exist a perfect OS that can be the best in any 
situation. It all depends. For example, if you really need to use a specific 
application, to generate a specific data, and that application exist only for 
winblows, and you can't find any solution in other platforms, in that case the 
only OS that can solve your needs would be the worse OS in the history. I think 
this case is rare to exist and you would be very unfortunately.

So first think about your needs, about what you want, reformulate the question 
and then look for the OS that match. Maybe you'll discover that the thing you 
are really looking for, is the OS that you was always used.
Or you can try to have many OSes as these guys that have only 37!!
