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.

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 .

So far I'm the only one running Vista on my primary machine. Who wants to go sign my commitment papers?
