XP Home on main machine
Win2K on wife's machine and my test rig
Win98 on pos laptop
WIn98SE on son's computer

At work, most of the desktops are win98SE with a few WInXP Pro machines. The servers run Novell.

win2k of course. it is the best balance of OS for performance/ stability/ compatibility for MS OS

i don't really like linux. why not use win2k if i'm already used to windows and it's also stable/fast?

At home I use Win 98 and Win XP Home (each about equally). At work I use Win 95, Win 98, Win NT, and Win 2000 depending on my task that day.
