    Only Snow Leopard and Win 7. For my PC laptop I used to be on Archlinux and WinXP, but the damn video card fried and I don't have money to replace it. So I'm mostly on mac now. Whatever, gets the job done and I could play games at med settings.

    @Ferginator4k:  This thread was made before 7 was actually out. I imagine that if the poll was restarted we'd see that a lot of the xp and vista people have moved on to 7.

    Windows XP MCE on my home/gaming computer.
     
    Everywhere else, Vista, Vista, Vista. Mostly because I'm too lazy to correct that.

    I personally really like WIndows 7 64-bit.  I switched to that from XP recently and am not looking back.

    To be honest, I've always wanted to try Linux, but I've heard simple things such as updating the OS and just getting it setup are a HUGE pain. I remember my roommate tried setting it up Linux on his machine and it took him nearly all day and he was frustrated the whole day. Personally, I don't know where to start with the bloody thing so where do you Linux users start to get all you know-how, etc?

    You can start here. If you do try it out, start with Ubuntu, or Mint. They are the easiest to use. Updates and configuration should be easy as long as you don't have really exotic hardware.
     
    I on the other hand use Arch Linux x86_64. I virtualize Windows Vista when I desperately need to use Microsoft Office, which thankfully, is very rare.

    I have Windows 7, but I am quite surprised that there are so many using it. I consider it to be quite glitchy.

    Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. 
     
    I really liked upgrading from vista on my machine and seeing my memory usage when idle go down about 20-30%.  Haven't had any issues since upgrading.

    What web browser do you use? I dual boot as well, and only use Win 7 on weekends when I play PC games, but the rest of the time I'm using Ubuntu and I web browse with Google Chrome, this site seems perfectly fine to me.

    I have 32-bit Windows Vista on my gaming computer (I had 64-bit but I ran into issues with Flash and some drivers).  I have a 32-bit Windows 7 disc I got for free from Microsoft, but I have not wanted to deal with upgrading my OS when it's been fine.

    Haha.  Right now I am posting from a Mac OS 10.4 Tiger machine.  I still like this old babe.  Still not a fan of Leopard.  
     
    Anyways, I also have a gaming-only PC that is currently running Windows 7.  I finally upgraded from windows XP.  I was scared after my sister bought a Sony Viao like 2 years ago with Windows Vista on which she hated not even knowing about the tech worlds outcry against Microsoft for that piece of trash.  But with getting a super cheap Ultimate version through my college, I decided to bite.  Plus it is 64 bit and was hoping more games would kind of use that now-a-days.
     
    Oh yeah, and I also have a linux machine that I mess around on with coding and just another computer.  I really have no interest in doing it for a job, but since I was in 6th grade I really enjoyed everything coding when I first learned HTML and then went on to Visual Basic 5.
     
    1. Mac OS 10.4 - iMac
    2. Mac OS 10.5 - MacBook
    3. Windows 7 - Gaming Rig
    4. Linux SuSE 11.(something).

    Snow Leopard on the Desktop 
    Leopard on the Macbook 
     
    I stopped using Windows at home after being responsible for 400+ multi-user notebooks running Windows 3.11 (at a time when NT was already out and known to work relatively well. But in this company these descisions take time...). After that,  I never wanted see Windows ever again.  
    And right now I'm sitting here posting this from a notebook running Windows Xp. And believe me when I say most websites (this one included) look crap when using IExplorer 6. 
    But then again, this company ain't the fastest when it comes to upgrading software...

    Stuck using OS X Tiger indefinitely due to issues with my laptop. Namely, the disc drive doesn't read anything and I can't be bothered paying to fix something I rarely used.
     
    Eventually I'll be forced to upgrade as applications continue to drop support for Tiger though. That's awesome.

    Windows Vista mainly, don't want to have to deal with upgrading to 7 yet. Occasionally boot up Linux in VitrualBox for random projects.
