I like my Win 7, it's been pretty good for years

Isn't win 7 around just for like 3 years?

but yep i own it too on other computer, bit it's nowhere safe as linux.

windows 7 was released "Five" years ago on October 22, 2009 and the SP1 was released ~a year after that.

i like win 7 more than 8 too. and currently using it for my main activities.

I`m using both windows and mac, but I prefer my bitcoin stuff on the mac side of things since there are known more virus towards pc setups.

Anyone can get bootcamp and dual side it, or like invest $20 for vmware and switch over not having to boot up each time and do both.

Again its personal preference.

et rich or die tryi

OpenBSD or a super thin linux client.
In reality the most secure is using something like TAILS or Whonix and then putting the wallet on a encrypted flash drive, but that is a huge effort.

I downloaded that btc core or how its called and it sinchs for a few days already Grin

so I opened an blockchain account, the problem is that I have nothing in it Grin

It's unsecure. I suggest you to download an SPV client such as Multibit and Electrum or use GreenAddress.

What is unsecure btc core or blockchain? I guess you ment blockchain? I thought btc core was most safe because it is in my pc, but it sinchs sooo long.. so I opened in blockchain and it works instantly

you can use pc wallet to store your bitcoins and better yet use an offline wallet for that, and use an online wallet like bc.i for small amounts and day to day use.

Blockchain.info. That's why I said you to use one of these wallets:

• Multibit : https://multibit.org/
• Electrum : https://electrum.org/
• GreenAddress : https://greenaddress.it/

Out of these, I'd recommend Multibit for ease of use (it allows creating a lot of wallets without requiring you to keep swapping out wallet.dat files) and Electrum for security (in that you can use a word-based password to revive your wallet if your PC ever crashes.

The best way to keep your bitcoins safe is by using an offline wallet.

If you want a decent operating system, I'll advise you to use a free open-source one, check a few GNU/Linux distributions and see which one you like best.

+1, this is the best advice you can get

the best of the best for operative system WINDOWS 7-8.

I think Windows need to grow more when we consider 'security'.

I say Ubuntu Linux is the best and most secure os for the technical guys

C'mon, Ubuntu is the Windows of the linux distributions, at least say one of the top distributions, Debian for example, which Ubuntu is based on, or Fedora Core, or Gentoo!

If I had to choose one, it'd be Ubuntu, and I'd argue that it IS one of the top distributions. It has a massive community behind it, is user-friendly, and it gives (as far as I know?) all of the benefits Linux does in terms of security.

There have been a few strange things with Ubuntu. E.g. if you used the search for something locally it would also search on amazon and load pictures of products that are related to your search. The connection was not encrypted IIRC, but even if thats a very serious breach of privacy. I think it was disabled though and there are several easy guides to make sure its disabled. Besides these problems Ubuntu is fine as long as you mainly want to use your OS.
For those that want to breath linux, Arch is probably better. They have an awesome wiki and community and as long as you are willing to educate yourself you will have exactly the Linux you want and need.

That's with the new Ubuntu menus trying to mimic Windows and Metro. That can be disabled, and then it won't do that anymore. It was added as a "convenience" feature, though I agree with you: that's a big problem for me as well. But it's something you're not stuck with.
