<snip>

I think he may just be an Arch user that enjoys the ubuntuforums community, seems quite natural to me.

[lisati]

Not in any order of preference:

XP
Ubuntu (assorted flavours)
Vista

(My older desktop, which came with Windows 98SE preinstalled, as I type this is doing a fairly convincing impression of "nothing", when what I've asked of it is a minimal CLI install of Jaunty. It's being doing "nothing" for the last couple of hours. I might give it a little bit longer before muttering some colourful words and considering putting something else on instead, maybe Freedos)

[Redundant Username]

Vista.

[3rdalbum]

WiiOS. Everything I use at home is Ubuntu except for the Wii.

Hey, don't knock WiiOS - it has Opera :-D

[wyliecoyoteuk]

!. OpenSuse 11.1
2. Mythbuntu 9.04
3. Windows (XP,2003,2008,Vista) at work.

I actually use Ubuntu very rarely, My only reason for using these forums is because my media box runs Mythbuntu.
I also use Redhat, Ubuntu server, Smoothwall, Mac OS and Puppy at work ;-)

[toejamfootball]

Windows XP for music production and notation software.

[bittu]

It's OpenSuse11.1

[Orlsend]

Ubuntu
XP

And I have ReactOS if any of those 2 fail me. Thoug i have a hard time thinking how Ubuntu is going to fail me.

[tchoklat]

[Sealbhach]

At work I have to use XP. It's not too bad really, very few problems with it, but programs do freeze every now and then.

.

[SuperSonic4]

I don't use Ubuntu at all.

1. Arch Linux

Seconded, in particular arch+KDEmod

[pbpersson]

At work I have to use XP Pro

[Daisuke_Aramaki]

i dual boot ubuntu jaunty with unoffcial kubunty jaunty kde3.5.10 on one of my test machines.

Primarily i use Lunar Linux on most of my machines, a couple with Sorcerer dual boot, and another with FreeBSD. Two more are powered by Solaris and OpenBSD respectively. And the last one runs minimal Open Solaris.

[andras artois]

When I'm not using Ubuntu it's XP at home. At college XP is on all the computers.

Should be running Ubuntu and Windows 7 soon though....

[dtoronto]

I prefer the Linux Kernel OS. I use Ubuntu, Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS and SUSE. I then prefer a BASH shell of Unix.

[gjoellee]

I use Arch

[kostkon]

Only Ubuntu.

[tacantara]

I use XP Pro in a virtual box, because it will allow me to run the Zune software. Otherwise, I have very little use for Windows. However, I'm curious about Win 7, so I might try out the public beta release when it becomes available in a few days - but only if it installs in the virtual box :KS

[mamamia88]

win 7/xp

[LowSky]

Arch Linux
Windows 7 (desktop)
Windows XP (laptops)

[chris4585]

Arch

[Joeb454]

For me it's usually OS X on my laptop.

Very rarely will I boot into the Vista partition on my desktop, but it's there just in case :)

[steev182]

OSX on my Laptop, Windows Server 2003, 2008 and Windows XP at work.

[Spiritous]

XP, Mac OS X, Free BSD, Vista and Win 7

3 HD ftw :)

[Tipped OuT]

Windows XP for gaming and computer graphics.

Windows Vista just for testing how much it really sucks. (Makes my Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz over heat every time!) :P

[hyperdude111]

XP at school
Win7 on other family computers

[skillllllz]

I only use Ubuntu, period; I am extremely rigid about this. Additionally, if I am at someone else's computer, I will boot Ubuntu from one of my USB flash drives. If their machine won't boot it, well, then I wait till I get home.

[chris200x9]

archlinux that's all esle for now (maybe gentoo again soon?)

[Depressed Man]

Depending on if you count other systems. On my laptop that I use regularly it's just..

Ubuntu and Vista. So given those constraints..

1) Windows Vista

If I can include my desktop..

1) Windows Vista
2) Windows XP
3) Windows Seven

If I can include my n800 Internet Tablet..

1) Maemo: Diablo (based off of Debian)
2) Windows Vista
3) Windows XP

[Einsamkeit]

XP on my desktop computer, keeping it in case some project requiring Windows comes up.

[Agent.Logic_]

I've got to admit, I haven't felt the need to use Windows XP after installing Ubuntu two months ago, except for playing Grand Theft Auto IV. :D Since then, I have completely dumped Windows XP on my laptop for Ubuntu, and also have Fedora 10 installed on an external hard drive. I'm really enjoying linux, and cannot believe I have been missing out on awesomeness all this while!

[jfloydb]

XP of course; but I haven't even booted it since I installed Jaunty on 4/23...

[RazVayne]

You guys make me so jealous with Arch Linux!
I wish I wasnt so darn stupid and actually learn some *nix "stuff",then I would have had Arch as my second OS :(
Arch+Gnome/OB or why not KDE/OB.
Arghh!

[will1911a1]

I don't use Ubuntu regularly. I have used an Ubuntu live cd for a couple things though.

I use Arch on my desktop, the default Xandros install on my Eee PC, and XP at work.

[nitehawk777]

On 4 different computers:

1. Debian Lenny/Squeeze - Puppy 4.1.2
2. Debian Lenny - Puppy 4.1.2
3. WXP sp3
4. w2k sp4 - Vector Linux 6
(will try Ubuntu 9.04 soon...)

Off Topic: Is there any way to fire up Android straight off HDD or through somekind of virtual layer?

[kay-man]

1. Kubuntu
2. Win XP (I use it for work, at home we have one XP box for my kids to play games on)

[AndyCooll]

Other distros I have installed and use:
Arch - I like, but as a newbie to this haven't yet figured out how to get my wireless working with it. rt73usb. Probably not difficult but I need to spend some time researching it.
Debian - Runs all my servers.
Fedora - Was my first distro, and I still like it.
gNewSense - Been using because the issues of my freedoms are something that for me personally are becoming of ever increasing interest and importance.

Other OS's:
Windows XP - At work.
Windows Vista - Came installed on my laptop so I've left it there just in case. I don't use it.

:cool:

[exploder]

PCLinuxOS 2009.1 here. I have customized all of the artwork and it is the most bug and regression free system I have ever seen. The built in Make LiveCD tool is also the very best tool I have ever seen in any operating system. PCLinuxOS shows the highest level of quality in any distribution I have ever tried.

[binbash]

win 7.

I feel a poll for this thread may be appropriate.
