Your Main Operating system?

[Andrew S]

I've got Windows Vista Ultimate on my desktop.

[Joe Gronlund]

Now all systems upgraded to Windows Vista Ultimate SP1..

[Anvil3]

Fedora 8 for me.

Ditto

[Sergio68]

OS X 10.5.2 on all systems.

Same.

[Quillz]

Same, all the FUD on the internet about Vista is ridiculous, it works as well as OS X does in terms of reliability for me. The stuff that Acer etc chuck on them tends to slow it down but if you remove it / clean install Vista it's great.

Vista has never once crashed every time I've used it. Leopard has crashed twice.

Vista Ultimate SP1 32bit on desktop and Laptop
Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise 32 and 64 bit on some
Windows Server 2008 Enterprise 32 and 64 bit on rest

Not your average home network

I am on Ubuntu for about 4 months now. I worked in parralel with Ubuntu & Windows XP for about a year, because I wanted to be sure that I can do all my current tasks in Ubuntu. Since Ubuntu passed the test, it is my main OS now.

Using virtualization (VMWare) I still have access to Windows XP. I need to do this because 2 years ago I bought a laser printer that has no drivers for Linux. (at the time I was not really interested in Linux, so I did not checked the compatibility with Linux)

However, my laptop is still on Windows XP. I just don't feel like investing the time in updating the OS on the laptop, because I don't use it that much.

Agreed.

So few people are using Linux ... this is a surprise. I was thinking that since most people here have good IT knowledge, then they might give Linux a try.

Most OEM's Acer included, even Dell software will slow it down.
I use to custom build all my systems, but found that it wasnt really worth the money in savings anymore. And i loved the new Dell XPS systems.

I always wipe out the systems I buy and reinstall Vista.. Never have had any problems, even with third party software, or drivers..

I would not use anything else but linux for the server. Windows is ideal for desktops and MAC machines make an ideal paperweight!

With that said, I use fedora 8 on my desktop and windows xp pro on my laptop. Thinking of giving Ubuntu a try but from what I see, it doesn't look that great..

I have switched to Ubuntu 4 months ago and I very much like the OS.
