Yesterday we ran a poll on whether Android users actually were lusting after the iPhone, as a survey we'd received claimed. Blacklash was swift and furious: 79 per cent of you said the survey was poppycock, thereby overturning the survey with an almost equal number of votes to the opposite effect. But with folks getting passionate about their favourite operating systems, we thought we should also be asking you what you think the best operating system is, whether you use it or not. Click and tell!
You've seen what we think of Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360, you've seen what our readers thinks of it, and you know which we rate as the best Kinect games already. Now, at long last you can vote with your wallet on whether you think the hands free console controller has been worth the 18 month wait since it was first revealed at E3 2009. Microsoft Kinect is now on sale in the UK, priced up at £129.99 with Kinect Adventures, or £249.99 with the same game and a 4GB Xbox 360 slim.
But will you be heading down the shops today to buy one? Is this one you'll be shunning, even though we've rated it the best gadget of 2010? Let us know in the comments, and give us a simple yes or no in the poll below. And if you've got Microsoft Kinect already, tell us know how you get on!

Do you Android users secretly want an iPhone? What can the iPhone do that makes you lust after it so, leaving your HTC Desire out in the cold?
Almost a third of Android owners admitted to longing after an iPhone, whereas just seven per cent of iPhone users said they’d prefer an Android. It's not just Android owners either. More than half of BlackBerry users said they preferred smartphones to their CrackBerries.
Note: answers are anonymous and cannot be traced back to you, should you be trapped in the Apple fanboy closet.
Last week we asked you whether the Forbes list of most powerful people in the world was right to put Steve Jobs a full 23 places above Mark Zuckerberg. Some highly intellectual debate ensued in the comments, around what really constituted power, and whether business people who sell things can be said to be more powerful than world leaders. The outcome of the poll, regardless of the powers of Sarkozy vs Zuckerberg, was that you think Steve Jobs wields more power over our lives than Zuckerberg, with 58 per cent of you voting for Jobs, although the vote was reasonably close, with 42 per cent voting for Zuckerberg.

Forbes has published its list of the most powerful people in the world today, and the podfather Steve Jobs, squints down on Mark Zuckerberg, who is a full 23 slots behind him.

What do you think? Click and tell...
Business Insider reports today that Sergey Brin and Larry Page's first choice for Google CEO was Steve Jobs. How different both Apple and Google could have turned out got us thinking: would Google be a walled garden, or would Steve Jobs be an open source advocate?
