    I use vista, and guess what: I have no major issues with it. I don't understand why everyone else seems to dread it so terribly nor do I care why.

    Windows XP.

    I'll give Windows 7 a chance when I get my hands on it.

    I use Windows 7 and Windows XP primarily - 7 on my laptop, XP on my desktop.

    I enjoy Windows 7, but hate ATI's "legacy" drivers (NO OPENGL WTF!!!). I also enjoy Windows XP. I don't particularly like those who blindly bash anything; I have had no problems with any Windows operating system from 2000 to 7 (well, there's Vista...).

    Both computers also dual-boot between their flavors of Windows and Kubuntu. I have messed around with Linux plenty of times. Since I'm a PC gamer though, I need Windows.

    Right now I use Mac OS X, but I've got Ubuntu 10.04 running in another partition.

    Windows 7, but I'm planning to get back into Linux.
    Distro of choice - Ubuntu (I'm f#$%ing proud something so successful was founded by a fellow South African =D )

    I'm using Windows XP at the moment. I'd like to buy a MacBook, but Europe prices are insane.

    I used Windows Vista for a while and when people asked if I had problems with it I would say well, not really.

    Then I got Windows 7..... and realised how many 'work-around' fixes that I had learned and forced myself to repeat to avoid some of the problems with Vista. It was surreal.

    I love Windows7 and I LOVE the Free Microsoft Security Essentials. About time!
