What os do you use?

So I wanted to look what OS developers prefer to use for their main OS.
Anyway the rules are:
if(my_os == "Windows") post_version_of_windows();
else if((my_os == "Linux") || (my_os == "Unix")) post_version_of_unix_based_os();
else if(my_os == "Other") post_your_os_info();

if(multiboot == true){ post_multibooted_os(); post_most_frequently_used_os(); }

The code is written in C++ but refers to everyone who "speaks" other languages as well. :lol:

Yeah, I use Vista too. I'm a big fan of the free/open source movement and all that, but I stick with Vista because it has nice support, a streamlined interface out-of-the-box, in many cases better general usability than Linux, and awesome video games.

I see most people with Windows, heh why there is no os that have performance of linux and popularity of windows, than many of my problems would be solved :(

Anyway my move:
Multiboot Windows XP and Arch Linux (With OpenBox3 [thinking of going back to Gnome, or trying KDE]), most time using Arch (at least it was like this, the latest few days most of the time I'm on windows coding c#)

ReactOS? But that's unstable :(.

Anyhow, I'm on Windows XP, I don't like Vista at all (don't want to rant here, I just don't like it :P).

Vista and XP. Tried various Linux flavours in the past but I'm too set in my ways to change old habits now :)

Cheers,
