    Just curious what is everyone's favorite OS.

    I have used ALMOST all of the main ones because of the classes I am taking.

    I personally think Windows Server 2003 is pretty sweet. It doesn't do a lot of stuff but it is stable and just fun to play with.

    I also enjoy using Vista a lot. Bash me if you want but if you have a GOOD PC running Vista 64x, Vista is a good OS.

    still enjoy my XP Pro. been thinking about getting windows 7 though.

    server would be useless for me to have and 2000/ME is unstable as ****. i would rather use windows 98 than those. never ran vista or 7 though, so i dont know about them.

    I don't like Vista because it's a resource hog. It makes good computers feel like complete crap. Windows 7 is where it's at! Much smoother and uses a lot fewer resources.

    Back a few years ago, I used Fedora and Ubuntu Linux releases. Those would run on just about anything with a processor.

    Yeah I'm running windows xp media cener edition, love it.
    I loved 2000, ME was garbage though. Worst idea any company has ever had, ever.

    I use XP 64 and have no complaints. I had Vista for a couple months and liked it but switched back because of no driver support for my TV tuner.

    I tried a beta of 7 and loved it. I'm buying a 64 copy as soon as I have some spare cash.

    I currently dual-boot Ubuntu and Vista. I haven't had many problems with Vista, and although I've heard Windows 7 is better I can't imagine it being over $100 better.

    Win 7 Ult 64 with a tri-boot of XP Pro, and Linux. Thats my laptop.

    I also have a XP Home AIO, and three macbooks. Two Pros and one Air. All running Snow Leopard.

    I am still partial to Windows 7, been using it since beta testing began.

    I only have the macbooks cause our company uses them and we get new ones every year. Dumb cause I only run AutoCAD and Tekla on them through Boot Camp.
