I run Windows 7, though everyone I know is trying to convert me to Linux.

Win 8. Just the diversity of the os makes it a winner in my book. Business in the front, party in the back

I was using Arch/Lubuntu but I've decided to do a fresh install of Gentoo. I've just finished installing fluxbox and now fixing my touchpad because it wasn't working. This distro is so much different than Arch... much more advanced!! I'm enjoying it so far!

You do know there's a Service Pack 2 for Vista?

I'm trying Crunch Bang Linux (Waldorf) on my Netbook. So far I'm happy with it. I think this is the fastest this Netbook has ever run. It includes the Ice Weasel browser and all the YouTube/Flash stuff is playing well. Otherwise, it barely has a DE. You get to everything in a Right-Click menu or with HotKeys.

I have Xubuntu on an old desktop. I might try something else on it or go back to Ubuntu CLI. It's used for Server experiments and tests.

I have an old Laptop that still has Vista. I'm keeping a system around with Windows mostly for college stuff.

Mac OS X 10.8.3 on my i7 quad core Mac Mini, with Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate installed also using BootCamp. I also have several other OS'es installed under Parallels 8, the strangest OS being Lucent Labs Plan 9. Forget everything you know about Unix, because Plan 9 is the most obfuscated OS since Kerningham and Richie ported Unix over to a DEC PDP-9.

Obviously you haven't tried Open VMS yet.

Currently Windows 8. I don't like it. When I have time I'll try to bypass the UEFI bollocks on this computer and dual boot some flavour of Linux again, my last attempt failed miserably. :roll:

I'm not a fan of Windows 8. I run Windows 7 on almost everything, except the servers.

My router (PE1750) runs Gentoo Linux at the moment. I'm debating switching to OpenBSD. The other servers run FreeBSD and a few run Gentoo.

My Tablet (Kindle Fire) and my phone (Samsung Captivate) run CyanogenMod 10.1.

What type of system is it.. I might be able to help you with that.

I've been using Windows 8 for a couple of days now and so far I'm really liking it, the metro start screen is nice because I don't need a list of all the programs that I never use under my finger tips, and seems sensible that they'd move the widgets to live tiles and then personalize the start menu with the programs that the user would favor, it just seems a lot more organic.
