Windows 7 would be, but I would say still garbage, go for console. I have neither, I use Linux, it's really fast, but not a great choice of gaming (yes you can play anygame, and if you can download the game and install it using programs {it takes like an hour longer than normal, because u need extra **** than windows} ) But yes it is the fastest OS, right now, steam came for linux :) so you can play some games like cs 1.6 cs source etc. But yet not Origin (they are also working on it, it's gonna be coming out for linux soon) What is different from linux and windows? Well in linux there is no such a thing as computer or like c: drive or drivers. Wait what? Yeah no drivers, it's hard to explain, I would recommend getting linux/ubuntu ( I use ubuntu 12.10, same as linux, but kinda different) (same company)
