Windows 7 without a doubt.
I've been keeping up with the builds and I'm really impressed with how far its come from vista.

I picked Windows 7 because I will probably update from Vista sometime.

Whenever my computer build gets done, I will be more than glad to excersize my right to never have to use a Linux distro again.

Windows 7.

On Windows 7 right now. And I get my free legit copy in the mail in October.

If you were awesome you'd hook it up.

Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, most certainly.

Considering that I write Linux applications for a living, and that I have a good number of applications that only work on Linux (including a rather large collection of scripts and small tools I wrote), probably either Ubuntu (for working), or Mac OS X (for almost everything else).

Although a Linux version of Paint.NET and TortoiseSVN (NautilusSVN isn't quite there yet) would be welcome...

I voted XP since that's most likely, but Linux is also a possibility depending on how the new open-source video driver stack shakes out. I wouldn't rule out Windows 7, but I just don't see any strong reason to upgrade. I don't play 3D-heavy PC games, so DirectX 10/11 aren't much of a draw (has anything even been released that requires DX10 yet?). The only reason I can think of that I'd upgrade is if companies generally stopped supporting XP with new drivers and apps. That's bound to happen eventually, but I doubt it'll happen for several more years at least.

Probably still Ubuntu. Though I would like to give windows 7 a try sometime. And im also curious about Googles distro.

I'm running the beta of Windows 7 right now, and I dropped $150 to preorder 3 copies of it when it releases in October.

So yeah...

My girlfriend and I are both Mac users, and given the extremely low price, we'll probably be on Snow Leopard next year.

At work, however, I have a 6- or 7-year-old Dell running XP. (The school district has actually instituted a ban on Vista, since several of our vital, proprietary programs don't work on it. We're migrating to a web-based data system, but it's a slow process). And, given California's budget condition, we probably won't be replacing any of our computers any time soon... or even considering a jump to Windows 7 for at least a couple of years. So I'd imagine it will continue to be XP at work.

Windows 7 RC is my OS of choice right now, and I'll be buying my copy before the end of the year. It's just been fantastic for me from the moment I started using it.

I may upgrade to Windows 7 eventually.

As of right now, I currently dual-boot Windows XP Pro SP3 and Windows Server 2003 EE SP2 on my hard drive.

Stormwatch · Post by **Stormwatch** » Tue Jul 14, 2009 2:07 am

Same as now: Mac OS X, plus the occasional boot into XP if a game requires.

Who knows, if I get the money, I could buy an actual Macintosh.

Maturion · Post by **Maturion** » Tue Jul 14, 2009 10:41 am

Linux for sure. After a short period of using Mac I switched back to Linux and I'm very happy with it now.

Maybe I'll check out Chrome OS, but for sure I'll keep my SUSE.

Post by **|darc|** » Tue Jul 14, 2009 2:48 pm

Currently running Mac OS X Snow Leopard Developer's Preview. In one year from now, I'll be running the stable final version.

Juan · Post by **Juan** » Tue Jul 14, 2009 10:18 pm

Linux w/KDE4

Maturion · Post by **Maturion** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 11:41 am

which distro are you on, Juan?

curt_grymala · Post by **curt_grymala** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 6:06 pm

Most likely still Linux Mint, with the occasional boot into Vista (mostly for iTunes).

At work, I'll be using Vista.
