    Vista 64 Home Premium. Have had no problems with it whatsoever since Sp1. I'm looking forward to Windows 7.

    It expires the summer of 2010. You have some time. Just buy Windows 7 when it comes out.

    Oh Windows 7 is gonna release at the same time the beta closes?

    release is October 09; so in a few months unless it gets delayed and then they will probably push the RC if that happens.

    My desktop dual boots Vista and Win 7 both 64 bit, my laptop duals 32-bit XP and Ubuntu. I dabble with the Win7 and Ubuntu, neither of them get used much. I don't mind Ubuntu, but I don't see why I should use it when I've got the XP license. Haven't spent enough time with Win7 to have all of my programs installed to it, otherwise I'd probably use it more.

    Windows 7 RC

    So far a much more positive experience than Vista. The biggest complaint I have is that after closing a resource intensive program (game, photoshop, whatever) W7 tends to hang for a bit, which XP and Vista never did.

    I do most of my stuff under Mac OS X Leopard on my Mac, when I'm going for some gaming I use BootCamp for Windows 7 RC. Love them both.

    Got me Mac OS X Leopard, but will upgrade to Snow Leopard since I have been reading that in terms of speed it is the shit.  But I also have WIndows 7 RC on bootcamp on my Macbook Pro so I can play any PC games that I want, also there in case Star Wars the Old Republic doesnt come out on Mac OS.

    Vista and Kubuntu mostly.

    I can't believe people still hate on Vista, since SP1 I haven't had any problems with it what so ever. I'll admit that pre-SP1 it was pretty glitchy(damn thing would blue screen every time it went to sleep and sleep wouldn't turn off) but since SP1(it's onto SP2 now) I haven't had any problems.

    I dual boot Ubuntu and a stripped down version of Vista.

    I tried Windows 7, and I am definitely going to be replacing my current Vista setup with that, but I'm going to wait until it launches proper.

    Windows XP SP3. Gonna stay with this until I upgrade to Windows 7/Windows XP's long term whatever support is over. I think that'll be around 2011. By then hopefully SP1 of Windows 7 will be out. Then I'll just buy that.
