I use Windows Vista. I dont care what people think about it.

I also use Windows XP, ME, 2000, occasionally 3.1, Mac OS 9 (a horrible OS), and Linux.
It depends on the computer I am using, how fast it is, and what I use it for

I actually prefer Windows Server 2003 . . . compared to XP I've found it's faster and more stable, and actually has better hardware support, just needs a bit of tweaking to convert it from a server OS to a workstation one.
It also runs better than Win2K on my older PC.

    Mainly XP for me. I've had a short stint with Vista but it just uses too many resources compared to XP. If I had a rig capable of DX 10 gaming I would probably be running Vista on it.

    I could see myself moving over to Ubuntu for at least some of my daily computer tasks though. At the moment I'm just playing around with the OS but I must say I'm really impressed. Ubuntu wont be replacing XP though since I still need to use Visual Studio.

    My favorite is Windows XP but you should know that there are hundreds of different versions/distributions of Linux

    I thought DOS only went up to 6.22....... ???

    I guess for me it has to be Windows XP. I would use Linux, but, well, I just don't have it installed right now. :(
    Oh, and definitely not ubuntu... Why is ubuntu the only option for linux?

    MS-Dos 7.10 extracted from Win.98 and improved on by the China Dos Union. (Isn't everything Made in China?)  There is no shame in the Dos community.

    I use Xp or 2000-Pro because they are more stable than Windows 98 SE.

    I liked 98 SE better than any other Windows.

    You left out everything from windows 3.1 all the way up to....
    all the rest of 'em and stuff...COL!!!
