I just moved to Windows 7 64 bit. I was using Ubuntu.

Windows 7 has been great so far. First worthwhile upgrade from XP IMO.

Ubuntu was a giant POS. I have been using Linux distros on and off for at least 14 years now and it is by far the worst. Lots of file corruption and bugs. Very disappointing.

Windows XP 32bit SP3

Now I guess the question is why do you run that OS?

I know XP inside and out, enough that Ive "hacked" a terminal at a McDonalds (they left the shift key available) and have rebuilt the driver hives by hand. Eight years of using something for several hours a day does that.

Work is obvious. Mandated by the boss.

The netbook got EEEbuntu since I wanted a linux variant that would allow me to not worry about errant programs running in the background. I could nlite an xp install and run it in a limited account, but it was just easier to run linux. My Eee only has 4 gigs built in so space is a premium.

The Imac is a 400mhz G3, so OSX runs like a dog on it, and so does the last version of OS9. UbuntuPPC was simple enough to install and get up and running, but sadly it does not support flash. I wanted it to do two things - show the inspiration image(s)/images I am working on, and run Pandora. It does one of those really well... If I could get flash to work on it, or on OS9 for that matter, it would do everything I would hope it could do. I may just gut it and throw in a ION pc.

I also use Knoppix like a fiend. It is my favorite Linux build.

Actually does anyone have any experience with Linux MCE? I have had no luck installing it on one of my test boxes.

Debian Sid with an XFCE desktop on AMD64.

Windows XP at work, with Cygwin installed, a Terminator terminal emulator, and VirtuaWin for virtual desktops. It still sucks.

There are definitely things Windows is better at, but I like the UNIX workflow so much better. Just pop open a terminal and move files around from there, or launch apps, etc.

Fastbilly, have you tried Sidux? I like it a lot more than Knoppix.

I havent even heard of Sidux. Giving it a Google now. I may add it to the "oh shit" tool set.

Edit:
I mostly use Knoppix for data recovery and other such screwups that others have caused to their windows box. Sidux looks to be a better OS for general use. Though I may be missing something.

I use Win 7 because it came on my computer and it is easy to use, though it is taking me a little bit to get used to after using XP for so long.

I also use Android 2.0 on my phone if mobile OSes count...Of course that came on my phone. I tend to use whatever is there I guess.
