My favorite OS

When I mentioned that I use both Mac OS X and WIndows XP on a daily basis, my husband asked about my favorite OS. My answer was that I didn't have one. It seems whichever OS is up and running is the one I run with. I actually had to stop and actively think about the differences. Then I realized that I like the Mac OS X interface for internet much better. I have found that if my Internet activity is slowing down on the Mac, I can easily clear my history and that tends to speed things up. The Windows machine is much more involved and much less accurate. My husband pointed out that it doesn't clear the history on the WIndows machine, it 'hides' it. You need a special program to actually "wipe" out the information, and what this does is overwrites the information that is still there after 'removing' it. He called it invasive; I called it scary.
