well, what to say, to much to do in too little space.
when it goes up hill, increase work, when it goes straight, test yourself but when going down, slow down.

(Didn't read the posts before)

Multiboot: openSUSE 11.0, Kubuntu 8.10, Vista Home Premium
(67 % Linux, so I chose Linux :mrgreen: )

(My openSUSE 11.0 will become an 11.1 in some days)

I primarily multiboot Gentoo Linux and Windows XP (depending on the machine, I might have '98, '98SE, Suse (yuck), DOS, and my own OS)

OpenBSD 4.4(i386) on my workstation. OpenBSD 4.5(i386 /not officially supported yet) on my server.. and AlloyOS on a little 1G SD card even though it doesn't really count at the moment.

I'll drop in for the multiboot crowd. Primary OS being OS X, but I use Linux (Debian and/or SuSE, previously Gentoo and Arch), and OpenBSD sometimes as well.

Gentoo Linux, with the occasional WinXP bootup to play a game.
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.

At work:
Vista for e-mail and administrative stuff, Windows Server 2003 for development. Hopefully this will be upgraded to Windows 7 & Server 2008 soon.

At home:
Dual-boot between Vista (for games and working from home), and Mac OS X (for everything else, including OS dev).

At my previous job I used Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, and NCR MP-RAS for development. :shock: I'm happy those days are over. :twisted:
Top three reasons why my OS project died:
  1. Too much overtime at work
  2. Got married
  3. My brain got stuck in an infinite loop while trying to design the memory manager
Don't let this happen to you!

Depending on machine, either Vista Home Basic, Vista Ultimate or Windows 7 Beta. I also try Linux from time to time but I use it too rarely for it to count. Also, one machine has no OS at all as its a test bed for my OSDev'ing (via PXE).

Hi to all,

after expanded my hard disk, now i have multiBoot operating systems

1. slax 6.0.9 (KDE 4)
2. Mandriva Linux (GNOME)
3. windoz xp :evil:
4. OS/2 warp 4.52 :shock:
5. free dos
*. my UNEXT/os (live-CD) :mrgreen:

ok guy's maybe some ask why i use all these OS's :?:

1. slax is my favorite usb-flash OS, and the HOST OS for my kernel
2. i like Mandriva on internet browsing sites,...
3. windoz, some times useful for gaming, i know there is WINe for linux but i think WINe isn't quality to play games :!:
4. os/2 warp 4.52,just to discover this legacy OS from IBM 8)
5. test my kernel under free dos for compatibility with DOS,sine my OS designed for real machine, and all the emulators i tried fails to run my kernel especially PS/2 scroll mouse driver
*. my UNEXT/os (live-CD)

I use Windows Vista x64 and have Ubuntu 8.10 x64 always running in a VM (VMWare Server II). I use Vista for gaming (which I hardly do) and VS2008 EEs, and have Ubuntu for compiling/building my OS(s) and testing in common emulators.

openSuSE 11.1 + KDE 4.3 unstable and a Vista and a Windows 7, both with something in the boot process broken by gparted while expanding their partition, not in the same time, but i dunno why i broken the win7 partition(even if i knew that would happen) :( . advice: don't try resizing or some other operation on a NTFS partition of vista/windows7 with gparted. i should use some partitioning tool for windows ](*,)
