linux or windows or osx

I remember IBM's OS warp. this was to do great things and would have beaten windows where it not for being late and then you not getting it pre-installed on systems.

linux is a good system but until more people can see what it does i think it will not make much head way, more shops etc, should show it side by side with windows and show you what they both can do, the pain in the arse is most pc come with windows on, so linux will not get a look in, this need to be changed in order for other OS to get a look in, then good advertising would help, so more people can see what it does.
there was some years ago aldi (i think) where selling pc's with linspire on or other linux, don't know how it went, but after a few years they stopped. I have used linux in different forms, its ok but still need to be made easy for the jo public, they have made it easy to install now, thats one good thing for it.
As for OSX well that is nice to use it does what you want it to, unlike windows should i do it or just stop.
OSX seems more intuitive after using a windows pc for a few hours, then moving to the mac OSX it seems more relaxing, easy to use.
I have used windows for a large number of years and only in the last few months gone to a true mac and i would not if had choice go back to windows.
