Best OS of today and tomorrow! anonymous poll ReactOS – 14 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 61% GNU Linux – 6 👍👍👍 26% macOS Sierra – 3 👍👍 13% Chrome OS ▫️ 0% 👥 23 people voted so far.

I haven't tried Sierra, but El Capitan is the mostest awesomest thingy
Apple forces users to use latest OS, so no diference

Windows is dead. WinXP/7 are dead ends, and Win10 is basically UWP, think of it like "Windows Phone OS + XBox OS + something-that-looks-like-Win32-and-parody-to-desktop-ui"
