Which operating system is best in windows 7 ?

Care to rephase the question? If you mean 32-bit vs 64-bit WIN7, then for 'future-proofing' you should choose 64-bit. If you already have 32-bit and are happy using 4GB of RAM or less, then stay with it because you won't see any difference in performance.

Confused me, so you mean the 32-bit/64 bit or the version of it, like home basic/professonal/home premium/ultimate?

Depends on what you plan to do with the system. For basic home use and gaming, W7 Home Premium x64 is probably the best.

64 bit

If you plan to use 4GB RAM or more, 64bit is the obvious choice. If you have very old 16bit software (not very likely), it will only work in 32bit.

My personal preference is for 64bit, because that's where hardware and software is moving.
