lol... I PREFER to work on Mac OS X 10.4.... but I really DO have a soft spot for System 7.x .... very clean, while still having a good amount of features. I suppose it's only real downfall when compared with other "classic" Mac OS systems is that when you copy files, you can't multitask.

8.6 was the pinnacle of the Mac OS as far as I'm concerned. I don't actually work in it anymore, since time has marched on and pulled me along, but I was very happy with it back in the day. I still don't really like OS X, but I use it because I have to use something.

In OS X's defense, Exposé is freakin' awesome, and it's nice that I can (and do) go months without rebooting.

9.1 was pretty solid, too, but I still think OS 9 should've been called 8.7 and was only called "9" so they could get to 10 and use their stupid roman numeral...

While I did select 10.4, in regards to Classic I would pick System 7.5.x (because it runs nice and fast on something like my Quadra 650 and is free from Apple ), System 7.6.1 (because it brings a lot of what OS 8 had brought without the extra bloat...besides, the system hard disk on a 68K Mac won't use HFS+), and Mac OS 8.6 (because it implemented a lot of what OS 9 had, again without the excess bloat).

10.3 was just clean effortless, simple, powerful, cool, and had little or no fault, that i can think of. 10.4 seemed like incomplete features for gimmicks sake.

Well, I have to admit I do like Spotlight now. And I couldn't do without the Weather widget in Dashboard. That's how I find out if my sons need to bundle up or not (of course at this time of the year in Miami, it's pretty much just light clothing and the occasional umbrella ).
