Mac OS X, Ubuntu, XP, Vista.

Mac in my opinion is the best. Then Linux, XP, Vista.

Yea I have vista on my laptop. Not by choice. I tried installing XP on it because vista blue screens a lot. However I couldnt get the available drivers for XP so I had to go back to vista :(

[Anim8or666]

Mac OS X Tiger on my iMac, Leopard on my MacBook Pro, and Ubuntu 7.04 on my older computer, which I use for downloading and experimenting.

[Jessii]

I have XP on my 2 desktops and my laptop.

[Jon-86]

In the house I have Windows / Unix / Solaris.
I mainly use XP though.

In the lab we have a choice of whatever since they run most of it on VM Ware now.

Also I get to download everything for free from MSDN.
So I have Visual studio 2003/5/8 for IDES.

But for OSes Ive downloaded 2000 (pro, advanced & server) / Server 2003 R2 / Vista business. SQL Server 2005 ( Developer Edition, Express Ed ) And I also got XP Embedded edition just for the hell of it.

All of which are now mine / legal to own / legal to use / They even gave me serial numbers when needed.
All of which will never be uploaded and pirated because they are all unique copies. Just for me.

Im oh so special :D

Turbo XP (April 2007 release)
Ubuntu 7.10 Gusty

[sirtom93]

xp and red hat at school.

[OneWhoListens]

xp atm...might change that soon.

[That-Is-Bull]

Currently Leopard, and Vista a little (mainly for testing shit in IE). Before that, Tiger for a year and before that XP for many years. Right now I'm an Apple fag but I plan on trying Ubuntu if I can ever fucking download it without my connection shitting out. If that's good I might build another PC and switch to it.

[citricsquid]

Windows XP.

[different]

Mac OS 10.3.9 (Panther)

Getting a new iMac with Leopard on it though. Expected next week.

[Seachmall]

Dell Laptop - Ubuntu
MacBook - Leopard
Desktop - WinXP

[GustTheASGuy]

Only XP as I've managed not to mess it up so far.

[DannyIsOnFire]

Windows XP, and that wont be changing for a while :)

[thoughtpolice]

I currently have:

1 OpenBSD box
1 DragonflyBSD box
1 ArchLinux box (primary work system)
1 Windows XP
1 Plan 9
1 computer that has nothing on it because I want to install gentoo, but the livecd fails and I don't have internet connectivity for it (need like a 100ft ethernet cable or something along those lines.)

[Celtrum]

Xp and Vista, although I really am a MAC fan.

Why switch from a good thing? I don't see anything wrong with OS X. I don't see why more people don't use Macs... especially the web designers

Simple. Macs are just too expensive when you look at the power of the hardware. I was looking at Mac notebooks a few weeks ago, and they were charging over $1,000 for a notebook with just 1 gig of ram (couldn't tell if it was DDR2 or DDR3). You can find decent notebooks with triple the ram for that money, and the difference between Vista's resource usage and OSX's isn't going to make up for that difference in hardware. The only thing that really makes Macs worthwhile is the OS, but once you figure out what a similarly specked Windows system will cost, you will find you are really just paying an exorbitant amount of money for an OS on a locked down platform.

Photoshop and notepad both exist on Windows...
