I use GNU/Linux consisting specifically of Ubuntu and Debian.

Windows 7 on my main machine
Mint 12 on my HTPC
Windows 98SE on my retro machine

Dunno why Ubuntu was singled out as a choice.

Cant answer poll as there is no dual boot option. I spend equal amounts of time gaming on my gaming box with win 7 as i do on my HTPC or laptop which both run linux.

EDIT, its a multi answer poll FYI guys :)

Several of the above, depending on what machine. Win7 x64 on the main rig, XP on a Pentium M based laptop I use, and Win98se and Puppy Linux on some 10-year-old retro laptops that get used for old games and word processing.

Vista is still my favorite Windows. I have it on a box, but it's not accurate to say I still use it. The only thing I do with that machine is occasionally get some old data off the drives. The only program I've used on it in over a year is Explorer :^D

Sp3 offers no real (not much) advantage over Sp2.

If it ain't broke why fix it?

Security? SP3 was released ~3 years ago, are you still scared of it breaking something?

Windows Server 2003. This is the kingkong operating system.

Given how old the story of King Kong is, the analogy seems pretty apt. =)

Windows 7 and Linux at work. Just my first mac just arrived today, so I'll be using OSX as my primary home OS. My old Win7 PC will be a NAS (I'll probably install FlexRAID or something for "drive extender"-like functionality).
