Why is OS/2 not listed? It's still what Windows wants to be when it grows up.

Sigh....if only IBM had a decent marketing department.....

Linux (SuSe 6.3/7.0/7.1, Mandrake 7.2)
Win2k

Further I've used nearly all Windows OS's (Win3.11, Win95, Win98 SE) but well, you know what they say about survival of the fittest ;)

I use Win2K but I also have a small partition with Win98SE on it and another partition with Linux Mandrake on it.

I use Win2K whenever possible although it is kinda tough at work when they want you to mantain a standard platform, then I have to sink to the level of 98 :(

Win2k for everything.

Blew out my Win98 partition a couple months ago and haven't looked back.

Win2k Pro. Once I get a larger hd, I might dual boot win98se so that I can run Audiovox's win95/98-only stupid software so I can transfer mp3's to my mp3 player (got it for free in the AltaVista deal last summer)

Win98/Win2K Pro dual at home (though I haven't been in the 98 for about 2 weeks)

Mostly Red Hat 7, and FreeBSD, though I am really starting to use BSD a lot lately, may become my new
OS of choice.

I recently switched from WIN98SE to WIN2K Pro. I will never return to 9X, 2000 is the only way to fly.
