What is the best opertive system gfor your pc in order to preserve bitcoins ?? BTC
it doesn't matter what operating system you have, the security of the OS and your bitcoin is up to you. if you don't know about other OS and want to secure your coin use paper wallet.I use a mac, never had an issue, but I just feel unlike windows, I really don't have to worry about the security part much on the mac OS. So in some way, it does matter what OS you use
What about Win XP? I hear that many people use xp
you are wrong my friend:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems#Desktop_and_laptop_computers
besides windows XP is no longer supported by microsoft and also the newer versions are not just a new version, they have eliminated many security issues.
Upgrade from 8 to 8.1 was free for me I think if that is what you were talking about. 7 to 8 was not free, I paid my 80 dollars for windows 8, but I am regretting this cause people are now selling windows 8 keys for less than 2 dollars here... are those legitimate?
If you read my post, I've only talked about 8->8.1, so yes, I was talking about 8->8.1, lol.
And the keys are usually legit. They come from MSDN, and are called VLKs (Volume License Keys). It's more of a moral question than anything. Basically, a company will buy keys for all their systems. This could be hundreds or thousands, so they pay tens of thousands for a VLK that they can install on every computer they have, rather than manually buying one key for each as it's needed. These are the keys people are selling.
Wow I would not think that those would have been real. Learn something everyday!

Unix masterrace gui is for wimps. In all seriousness I think windows 10 is going to really good.
What platform though? I think newer windows OS are just becoming more for tablets and not desktops. I am not interested in any OS past windows 7 for desktop, I accidentally got windows 8 cause it was cheaper and I deeply regret this.Read my post up about 8.1. Also, the upgrade to 8.1 is free as far as I'm aware. Just upgrade it and you're good to go.

The issue here is that desktops are also becoming more touchy (i.e., touch screen monitors), so they're trying to bridge the gap between desktop and tables I think.

I have macbook pro (apple operating system), I think apple is best on laptops, I have windows 8.1 (I liked windows 7 much better) on pc, and linux for my vps. Windows is much better for desktop, and apple for laptop, in my opinion. Bitcoin works great on all of them.

The one you understand best and can maintain the best. No OS is secure if you do not know how to handle it properly. If you spend the first 26[1] years of your life with Windows it makes no sense to suggest you switch to OpenBSD just because its safer.
[1] random.org provided that number dont think to much about it.
This is a pretty solid answer, and is something far too many people overlook. People think that Linux is the most secure by default, when it's not if you don't know what you're doing.
With that said, the best option is to LEARN Linux, including security practices, and then use that. It offers the most security for those with the knowledge of how to use it.
I have 2,
1. Ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop (works great)
2. Windows 8.1 on my PC (works great too)
But depends of what you need, some other systems are great too.

I've tried many Linux distributions over the years, the one I like best is Debian, if you want stability and security go with Debian Stable, if you want a really fast OS and latest hardware go with unstable, it's the best OS you'll ever use.
Plus, it's free open-source software.

Macintosh is the best OS till date as it is very difficult to create a virus for this OS or hack the PC. Many use it and it works faster than Windows and Linux.
Debian ! (and tails). the rest is garbage under the control of the nsa... if by mistake you put a picture of a nice girl who knows what they can do, never trust them, they are trust unworthy.
if you are taking enough careful steps to keep your coins secure, any OS is good. if you are not careful, no OS is good.
