Use Linux as your base, get a VM ware, and run the lot on the VM ware; I know a Webmaster who does that and his workstation has never fallen over once... the only thing that freezes is the windows .

Linux is a free software (don't need to pay for it). However, you need to learn Linux and know a lot about it before you can do installation. The same reason applies if you want to fix problems later on (troubleshoot). Only special people who wish to be Linux experts use this software on their computers. If you are an ordinary user who don't know so much about computers, then this is not the software for you.
Windows XP is the most popular. However, it is not free (you need to buy it). Easy to install and troubleshoot. Most application software are compatible with it.
More than 90% of all computers today use this operating system. So this is the most recommended software.
Windows 98 is older version of Windows. Less powerful than Windows XP. Intended for older and small computer systems with slower CPU and smaller memory. Easy to install and troubleshoot. Not commonly used nowadays.

Depends on what level user you are, I'm 14 and partially understand linux. But I also know Windows inside and out. So really, If you want the power and speed of linux but install software through and terminal command prompt, Linux is the Choice. But , user friendlyness and compatability and the best features of Windows. but Windows has alot of problems freezing and viruses. Whatever you do though, DON'T GET WINDOWS 98, its not worth it.

Vista
Linux in itself is not so bad, but if you need to run commercial software (and there is still much incompatibility in the way many open-source products interact with commercial equivalents) then forget Linux and stick with either Windows or Mac
