win xp pro on desktop.

Vista on laptop

Mac OS X Tiger on Mac Mini

windows 2003 Server (for websites, hosted by a company)

*Downloaded Ubuntu the other day, but not had time to play. I downloaded server and desktop version... doubt if it will take over as my main os....

I use XP at the moment - although I tried out a Live CD version of Ubuntu and loved it straight away.. will be buying/building a new PC to just install Ubuntu on. :P

My vote goes to 'Other', as it's a win2k3... and I love how well it works on my personal box.

MacOS X Tiger on my MacBook, Win XP Pro on all the office machines, Win Server 2003 R2 on our internal servers.

And on the hosting side I could give you a list 10 pages long, so I won't bother :).

Windows XP Media Center Edition in the living room, Windows XP TabletPC Edition on my Tecra M4, Windows XP Professional on all the desktops, Windows Server 2003 on the house's LAN's server, Windows Smartphone on my phone, Windows Mobile 5.0 on my PDA....yep, I'm a Windows junkie.

"Other - Please explain"

For me however the primary OS on my NB is WinXP Pro, I do however have VMware installed and virtual machines of everything from Server2003R2 to WFWG (and a few linux distros) available when needed.

We still think windows 98SE to be the best, reliable and not too many unwanted features.

Ubuntu Linux, been windows free for awhile now and not looked back. Not gonna bash windows or anything, I just find Linux better for me.

A couple of people in the office use MAC, I kinda find the layout to be both annoying and restrictive, but they love it. All down to personal preference i guess.

CentOS on servers - love it.

I find XP to be faster, especially with boot times.

If you take all the appearance crap off xp pro you can make it look like win2k .

Windows XP for gaming and the common choice with almost all computers these days.

I agree. I now use MacOSX just as much as I use Gentoo Linux. (50%-50%)

I run Win XP Pro. Occasionally (not as much as I used to) I like to play a few games, and Win XP also runs all the stuff I use daily (Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and all the little windows utilities). I could probably switch to Gentoo or kubuntu (I dont like gnome) pretty easily, but I would miss my games :P.
