    That's just the two computers that I've had for myself (not including the macs). Right now we have 6 computers in our house; I built two of them and installed operating systems often multiple times on each.

    I don't like to think about how many hours I've wasted installing operating systems!

    I officially (the lord mayor of cork came out and decreed it) don't need Vista for anything now. I'm a very happy bunny.

    I completely switched to GNU/Linux, except at work.
    They are using WindowsXP, I still complain each and everyday about how slow and how it loves to hang in the middle of tasks. Even though they are using high end computers. Will keep on advocating and trying to convince them to do a switch though.

    I still have a Windows 2003 Server that i stopped using AGES ago, i turn it one when i need to burn Xbox360 games, since there no good way to do so on Linux that i know of. and even so, i haven't had any game to burn in the past 3-4 months.

    I even forced the switch on the family Desktop, first 2 days were hard on my little sister, but then she got to a point that she even asked me whats the sudo password !

    At home, I am about 95% Linux, but still use Windows for the odd game and for the odd pieces of obscure software I need from time to time. I have to use Windows 100% at work where Linux pretty much isn't an option.

    My pc is Ubuntu / Kubuntu dual boot... Completely removed Windows a week ago and got back into Linux full-time (I dual booted XP / Ubuntu 7.0.4 for the past few years). Wanted to dual boot Kubuntu and Ubuntu to see which one I preferred, but I prefer Gnome personally, and now I'm wishing I had just made a single Ubuntu installation. I've finally got my system set up perfectly, Creative X-Fi with 5.1 surround sound is working, got Compiz fully functional, and system backups running logarithmically.

    I work on Windows XP (C# .NET Developer), and my gf's computer has windows on it, but I will personally never install another Windows OS on my computer, I love Ubuntu Linux.
