What Operating System Do You Use?

You're the first person I heard say that XP runs bad on a mac.

Funny, I heard everyone saying it when it was the big news story.

We have people at work with Mac Book Pros with Parallels running MS Visual Studio next to Aperture its damn cool, but wasteful of system resources.

I use Mac OS X 10.4 on my primary computer, Vista Ultimate on my PC laptop, Ubuntu on an old laptop, Mac OS 9 on my old G3, and I still manage to interact with XP multiple times a day...

I've got more friggin computers than is good for me -- and all of them get some regular use.

I've got machines running OS/X, Vista, WinXP, and Linux... but my OS of choice is FreeBSD. I doubt there would be much Linux in the house if it weren't for the MythTV dependency. The other three, commercial products, are all because of work dependencies.

I'm most interested in Plan9OS, however -- need to give that one a whirl.

I dual boot my MBP as well. Believe me, if I could ditch windows I would (personal preference, not to ruffle any feathers). My dev work usually sits on my windows side, while my more casual use is on the mac side. Flexibillity is amazing, and as a piece of hardware, I love the MBP.

I bought Windows Vista today... Windows MCE 2005 was giving me problems with my hauppauge dual tuner, i destroyed the registry with VMware, among other things made me decide to actually pick it up and test it out.

I like it, very pretty! As for functionality... well all my software from XP is installed and works fine as far as I can tell. Now I just have to test it a bit more in depth to see what goes on. It just leaves me with a MCE 2005 license... not sure what I'm gonna do with it. Maybe install it on another computer I own... or if anyone here wants it I can sell it for cheaper then retail.
