Operating System?

   Back in the 80's i was using the basic MS-DOS system for orders, stock, deliveries etc. while working at a large dept. store and thought at the time there could be a better more "user friendly" system, then a few years later up  popped Bill Gates and made everybody's lives much easier! I started using the 3.1 version then 98, then 2000 pro, and where i work now is exclusively XP Pro, never had any probs with that at all, and i hear there is to be a new Windows system out soon, Windows Vista. The one i least liked was Windows ME. i have XP home and 2000 pro on my music computer, though i have heard the Mac OS  is much better for music and imaging programs which professionals use, much more powerful.  As for Linux, i am still mastering windows, so i won't complicate my life further!
