I've fiddled around with a couple of flavours of Linux (mainly Red Hat and Ubuntu), and I mean to eventually move over to Linux properly, but I haven't had the time to do it properly, so I'm stuck with Windows XP for now. Vista seems just awful enough to make me switch next time I'm upgrading my hardware.

Vista Home basic on the laptop. I really only use if for browsing the net and it's grand. Found plenty of tips and tricks to speed it up and it just looks and runs pretty much the same as XP for me now. It could probably use an extra gig of RAM though, which I might put in if I get around to it. It's only 1 gig and the moment and it can hang a bit.

Mac OSX. Works pretty well for me anyway. Think it's Leopard...

Windows XP on the work laptop, Ubuntu on my own laptop, Windows 2000 on an old desktop I use for downloading

Should this poll not automatically detect what os people are using and populate itself? This is the tech forum after all!

Vista at home and Windows NT in work (crap).

Vista at home, XP at work.

Windows XP Pro on my internet laptop

Vista Ultimate on my video editing PC and on my gaming PC.

I am just in the process of building a new PC and will install Ubuntu on it for gaming and see how it runs.

Also have a multiboot PC for doing computer repairs if I need to earn a few euro.

In the process of putting a Linux distro on my old Dell laptop. Most likely Ubuntu or Mint. Had Xandros on my eee pc for a while which was a dream of an OS for a netbook but had to change for a stupid work related reason....which was all down to Open Office messing up footnotes from Word.

Work computers use XP
