On the 512 MB machine I prepared for my niece this weekend XP definitely is the best of the three.
And on a tablet Windows 8 becomes the best (if it doesn't run iOS).

1. The app or apps you want to run?
2. The host machine. What if it doesn't run Windows?
3. The budget. Maybe you have a limit there.

This is so much a personal thing.
If I had a Windows based computer with limited resources I'd have to go with Windows XP
If I had a Mac (which I do), I'd have to say Snow Leopard. (which I use)
But if asked which OS is the best overall, I'd have to say some kind of Linux brand.

Hello friends,

In terms of graphic: Mac OS is best, but only if you have a 128 bit or higher processor otherwise Windows is easy to use & understand & troubleshoot, but still unstable & costly and also you have to buy an antivirus, MS word etc.

Regards
Steven Dilley
