If your going to get a Microsoft system, get vista
I think it was last month or will be whti money, but they stopped/will stop support for windows XP
but if you are getting Vista, I recomend Home Preimum, but i have bussines on my other laptop and thats good for my online bussines, but i dont recomend if you dont need it for business uses

Given that the sales of XP Home has been extended for ULPC's until June 30th 2010, due to Vista not being able to run well on them and MS doesn't want to cede this market to Linux. Also since XP SP3 is about to be released (re-released), there should be a good few years of support for XP yet.
What is happening in June is that XP is no longer going to be available via retail channels or OEM's. Although Dell and Lenovo seem to have found a way around it.

I currently use windows XP for playing games and Sabayon Linux for everything else.
(Dual booted, 2 operating systems on one harddrive split into partitions, I turn it on a the boot manager asks me which OS to boot)
I also like Suse Linux, but don't currently have it installed.

I currently have Windows XP Home Edition. I have to get XP Pro while I still can. I have used Ubuntu as well as Kubuntu before. And I find the GNOME Desktop environment better than the KDE Environment. I can't wait for Windows 7 though. It's supposed to be pretty good from what I hear.
I've never used Solaris. The only OS I had ever used was a mac os, linux and microsoft. I didn't quite like linux. I've heard it was stable and etc but it seems to crash on me a lot. And for the mac, i hate how they make the control setting so hidden or maybe i'm just not used to the mac. Microsoft XP was great. However, VISTA WAS HORRIBLE in my experience. It's even worst than my windows 98 running on my old 300 mhz machine. There's always a 2-3 second lag time when I do things in VISTA. Even deleting a file takes a 1 sec lag time. What's up with that man. No wonder Vista's sales aren't so great. VISTA sure looks great but man, it's so messed up inside.

Haha Definately Leopard. The only downside is some programs are still not compatiable with it. And also, if u're a bit of a gamer, some games don't perform very well on macs. But overall, its a beautiful o/s
Been using Windows XP since day one and its the OS i'm most comfortable with.

I'd say the OS depends on what you like to do. If you like gaming on your PC then i'd go with Windows XP Service Pack 3. If you like just chatting and webbrowsing then go for a mac. I use XP SP3 on my desktop and Vista on my laptop. One thing is for sure though Vista is an EPIC FAIL. But my XP run really nicly for gaming. It really matters on what you like to do.
I've been using windows since 3.1...
I'm not a fanboy, I don't care that much about an operating system, as long as it plays my PC games without too much hassle then I'm happy, and for that windows has sufficed from then until now, though I acknowledge windows is not great at all things but then again no operating system is.

On the go i currently have a macbook that is tri-boot:OSX.5Leopard/LIN:Mint/WIN:Vista. I use mac most of the time, because I don't want to bother with settings. I use Vista, because i need to stay up on what my customers are using, and i use linux, because i need to know it. Its the way the EU market is going. (i'm not in EU, but i plan to work for INTNTL companies one day)
I have a server at home that i used to PC game on, but since i have such little time for gaming anymore, it is now a HMCPC.

I haven't come close to using all of the operating systems out there, but I've gotten a pretty decent exposure.
On a regular basis I use Vista Ultimate x64 SP1, and to a lesser degree, I use OS X 10.4.11 on an iMac that sits to my left.
I have used a bunch of *nix's over the years since 1999, and tried BSD a couple of times.

I've used only Windows from the start and I don't have any complaints. Windows has everything I need, and the format is just right. Almost all applications and programs are compatible on it, and the format is nice, too. I used to use XP PRO 64 Bit, but my computer just burned out the network card (probably conflict with a game). So then, I just switched to Vista and there's been no problems yet. You could say I'm a happy customer.
Our souls, hard yet firm
Our power, tearing the mountains
Our swords, splitting the water
Our names, reaching the villa
Only one among us can stand under heaven.

I emulate some games on wine at Ubuntu8 but for the games that need top performance i use Win XP. A malfunctional sloppy programmed system like windows vista wouldn't ever be installed on my PC, too bad ressource- and power management. It's enough that i have to give support for this OS at work 
.
But back to topic..
gaming system: WinXP/Wine
productive system: Ubuntu8

I use Debian Lenny / Testing on my main PC / new mini-PC (Intel 945GCLF + 1.6Ghz ATOM CPU).. It serves me very good.. It can use up the force of my Q6600 or the ATOM. Well.. still, XP is on a small partition on the PC for gaming.. but since wine can run hgame/2d fighting games, I don't care so much about it. :)
I've tried a lot of OSs.. Like FreeBSD, OpenBSD, PC-BSD, Solaris, OpenSOLARIS, then a lot linux distros, for example, Ubuntu, openSUSE, Gentoo*, Sabayon, Debian*, Parsix, sidux, Arch linux, Gobo linux, Slackware, Bluewhite, Frugalware...and sooo on. (*=long use)
Still.. I think the ultimate best is Debian. :)
g35x > The only problem with Sabayon, is the mixed packages. It crashes if you use it everyday, and install new apps, and so on. So I don't get it why is it so "awesome" (the developer said). openSUSE 11 is really great ATM. I suggest it for EVERYONE who wants to try linux, or just needs a stable/easy distro. (Nah, I still use Debian)
