I am currently using Windows 7 and must say it is the best OS Microsoft has ever come with. If you have your computer dual booted or use 2 different computers, list the one you use most and/or prefer.

Windows 7. It is by far the best OS I've ever used, and Microsoft did a fantastic job on it.

I finally installed Win 7 about a month ago, and it's been the best OS I've used.

Ubuntu is the most widely used desktop Linux distro, it has a big community and help is easy to find. I'd recommend it for new comers, you could also try Linux Mint which is an Ubuntu derivative that comes with flash and media codecs preinstalled. If you don't mind waiting a bit, Ubuntu 10.04 comes out next month, you might want to wait for it.

Vista was actually a decent OS, unlike the steaming pile of crap that was XP.......

Sounds good. About 5 years ago, I had Fedora dual booted with Vista, but didn't really fool around with it much due to a lack of software support. Have things changed much in that department? Also, is Mint planning on being a free distro?

It's still meh. I dual booted Linux a while back, but removed it because of the lack of software support. I couldn't find a media player on par with MediaMonkey and Winamp, and OpenOffice had issues with opening alot of Microsoft Office Power Points. Other than that it was a pretty good OS. I personally have XP, since my computer is 3 years old and won't support anything higher than Windows Vista Home Basic. I could upgrade the parts, but I'm saving up for a good gaming laptop for next summer before I go off to college.

I'm using Windows 7 64 bit. I don't know if I'd say its the best if it were running on my old XP PC. Runs great but I have a hefty PC.

Pretty sure they all do, you just have to run them in compatibility mode for XP.

Mostly Linux, and BSD distros. I mean my desktop uses Windows, cause I like games and ATI is awesome for not supporting Linux hd3870x2 drivers. All my other computers use some distro of Linux or FreeBSD. Router Freebsd, network bridge untangle(Debian Based), server Ubuntu 9.10 no GUI, used to be Debian, but Ubuntu stays up to date with kernel I like that. Backup server Ubuntu. Other random computers, FreeBSD.

Windows 7 Pro x64.

I'm also working on getting Arch Linux set up in a VM as a guest OS, and I will probably let that take over my second screen. Main reason for this is that I miss Irssi, rTorrent, and a bunch of other Linux applications..and I want to use them without abandoning Windows and its applications. Doing it for fun, too, of course. (And yeah, I can and have run Irssi on Windows, but it's just not the same.)

Supposedly VirtualBox guest additions can make it seamless with Windows 7, which sounds really cool. I wanna see just how integrated I can get it with the host OS using the file sharing system and such that VirtualBox has in-place.

I've also been wanting to give 'Awesome WM' a try.

On my laptop I currently have Vista. I've had Windows 7 since it was released, but I haven't gotten around to installing it yet. I guess I wanted to have Vista for at least a year, and now that I have, I should move on to 7. On my desktop I have Windows XP and Ubuntu.
