What OS do you use?

Obviously I cant cover every single one(this applies mostly to Linux users), so just bear with me.
I use Debian, Ubuntu and CrunchBang Linux(Ubuntu based).

I use Windows Vista 64 and should be getting my copy of Windows 7 in the mail sometime this week.

I use windows at work because I'm obliged to... I use Mac OS at home because it's 100 times better for what I do/need.

Windows XP on the older desktop, and Windows 7 on the new laptop. I really like using Windows 7.

You could however make a poll that allows for multiple selections, no? I think it's been close to half a dozen years since I met a musician who only uses one OS.

I use Mac OSX and OS9 plus Windows Vista in my studio; I use OSX and Windows XP in the other studios where I work; my wife has XP at home.

I think my Dad still has a machine running Windows 3.1

My laptop is running Windows Vista, but after this semester of school is over I'm converting it to Linux Mint.

XP Pro SP3 on the desktop
XP Home SP3 on the netbook
Ubuntu on my tinker-box desktop
7 Pro on the laptop.

I considered upgrading the desk to 7, but it runs sooo well the way it's configured with XP that I'd be a fool to start over, despite the success of Windows 7.

Did you go ahead and add carrots into the mix? The only reason I come into poll threads is to vote for carrots. Bless you and your pointy little head.
