win2k and win2003 are my favorite Microsoft operating systems to use on my own computer. Compared with the other windos series, they’re relatively more stable, and driver support is very good. Also, the company where I work part-time during vacations uses Apple’s system and SGI IRIX workstations, one for graphic design and post-processing graphics, and the other for 3D modeling and rendering. Recently the company put together two amd64 Linux workstations, and they feel great. Configuration is just a bit complicated, but the performance really is unbelievably fierce. On the same hardware, Linux64 is much better than windos 64. Too bad a student part-timer at my errand-running level like me is generally not allowed to touch things casually, 55555555.
