The poll needs a multiple OS option.
I'm using windows 98. As soon as I can get to it, I will also have a Linux flavor and one of the BSDs. Haven't decided on which ones. My hardware limitations will probably make the decision for me, old PC with RAM, HD and CDRW upgrades.
While I'm looking forward to learning Linux and either free or open BSD, I won't use anything newer than 98 for windows. XP is nothing but an over-patched security nightmare and Vista will likely be worse and wouldn't run on my hardware anyway.

That seems to explain the "resident paranoid" phrase under your forum username.  LOL

I voted Other since I have a dual-boot configuration for Win 98SE and Win XP Pro.

LOL At least partly true, but then 98 didn't need a weekly patch day. :P
