Windows 7 Pro ordered. I have nothing against XP which has been great for me since 2001. However Vista on my laptop makes my XP Desktop feel a bit old.

I support 9 systems (desk and laptops) in 2 houses.
About a 50/50 mix of XP and Vista.
I probably use XP most frequently.

Its weird that you have so many options for Windows but not for Linux or Mac OS.

Should have made your poll multiple selection, I've got 4 computers in the house....

2x Vista 32bit
1x Vista 64bit
1x XP

Might move one up to Windows 7, but not until HP has printer drivers ready to go. They still haven't fixed some issues with my L7680 and Vista, and the issue was identified over 2 years ago by multiple people....

Dual booting XP and Windows 7.

I use 7 when i'm just leisurely using it and XP when i'm pushing it. Best of both worlds if you ask me.

I'll vote XP though. I love 7, but XP will always be my favorite OS.

Leopard FTW


I recently made the switch when I picked up a 27" iMac. It's totally unnecessary

I was gonna say the same thing. When I read the thread's title I didn't even think about Mac (although I was thinking about buying one).

the other 6% is not inconsequential and a decent project cannot ignore that.
