Favourite Operating Systems

• Windows 10: This is one of my favourites. I like the way Microsoft made it easier to get hold of beta builds by signing up to the Windows Insider Program.
• Windows 7: I've always liked this OS too; I've used it a lot in the past and it is better than Windows 8.
• ReactOS: Nice OS based on old Windows versions such as Windows 95.
• Ubuntu: I use this Linux distribution sometimes. In my opinion, it can be good to replace Windows XP on an old computer that doesn't support newer versions of Windows.
• Lubuntu: Lightweight version of Ubuntu that's suitable for older hardware.
• Windows 95: Wonderful startup sound that makes me feel relaxed.

Worst Operating Systems

• Windows ME: Buggy version of Windows that was only supported for six years.
• Windows 8: No start button, more optimised for tablets than it was for PCs.
• Windows RT: Looks just like Windows 8, but you can only get stuff from the Windows Store.
• Ubuntu 5.04: Never managed to install it in VirtualBox because of the partitioner during setup.

To-do list

• Run Windows Whistler 2287 in VirtualBox
• Run Windows Longhorn 3683 in QEMU
• Run ReactOS in QEMU on my Raspberry Pi 3
• Run Raspbian (the officially recommended OS for the RPi) in QEMU
