I use linux on most of my machines. Ubuntu on my main, Fedora on my file server, and random stuff on others. One box is dual booting win7 just for the occasional gaming and I used to use it to manage my iPod. What do you guys use at home?
 
Primary OS is Windows 7. I also have Ubuntu 10.04 dual booted for when I need to do some development work.
 
As of now I'm only using Windows 7. On my old laptop I dual-booted XP and Ubuntu.
 
I use multiple OSes.

My main computer, a MacBook uses Leopard, my PC laptop (which I use for gaming) has Windows XP. The desktop in my house has Windows 7.

At work I use a desktop with Windows XP.
 
My laptop = Win 7 Ultimate
Wifes Laptop = Win 7 Premium
Old laptop = Ubuntu 10.04
Other old laptop = XP Media Center
Server = Server 2k8 Ent R2
SAN = Openfiler
 
Personally I have two machines I put windows 7 on. My next computer is going back to Ubuntu though. I honestly loved Ubuntu but last time I installed it I had problems with flash so I had to go back to windows for school. When I finally get a new computer ill throw Ubuntu on it and get to using that again.

On my main desktop system I am running GNU/Linux. It works for me. Its simple and does everything that I need it to do.
 
Linux on my laptop (LinuxMint)
Windows on my desktop (Windows 7)
iMac for work (running OS 10.6)
Solaris on my servers (Solaris 10)

...you can say I am a geek :)

Windows 7 :) This OS is really solid and visually very pleasing. My favorite feature: Making pages instantly become half the screen. It's very helpful for school.

THIS. I'm so angry I didn't buy an extra copy of Windows 7 during the student pricing for my laptop :( It's stuck with XP now.

I wish I had the half page feature on my XP laptop and my MacBook.

I was fortunately able to get one copy of Windows 7 for $10 and 1 month before official release for my notebook. They only allowed one per student though. You should check with your school to see if they have a special discounted price for students. I know my school has some kind of deal with Microsoft and we get a lot of stuff either very cheap or free.

I used to be anal about having two of my pages as close to half the screen as possible, hehe. I would actually spend a decent amount of time reducing the page and then trying to resize it perfectly. It was very annoying.

I've been very lucky to not have any problems with Windows ever since my first XP desktop. VERY lucky. I had 4 problems with Apple's computers. In general, I've been lucky with my tech products... now I cursed myself...
 
Main O/S is ubuntu 10.4 game dule boots win7- and unbuntu netbooks use ubuntu netbook edtion laptops boots apple os file server use cobolt unix and the table uses android :) a strange mix im shure but each fits the job fine :)
