Do you any of you have multiple computers running different operating systems, if so what one is your best?

I have two computers. I have Ubuntu on one and mountain lion and win 7 on another. Mountain lion is the best in my opinion.

I have 4 computers. 2 desktops running Windows 7, one at my mom's house, which is 3 years old, one at my dad's, at 4 years. I also have 2 laptops, one school is issued for programming. It is VERY old, 10+ years, and runs Ubuntu. The other is personal and runs Linux Mint. It is only about 5 years old. Windows 7 is better for gaming, but Linux is better for everything else. I like Mint better than Ubuntu, mainly because the Unity UI is BS.

I have two. This one running Windows 8 and a tablet with Android 3.01. My Windows 8 is the best.

I have a laptop running Windows 7 (which I hardly use), a Kindle Fire tablet running CM7.2 (Android 2.3.7) and two pocket PCs running Windows Mobile. Of course I would have to say that the Windows 7 laptop is the best as far as performance and options go but my personal favorite is the Kindle tablet running Android.

I don't know if it counts or not, I have got two HDDs in my computer one with FreeBSD 9.0 and the other with Arch Linux on it. I like them almost equally, but I would have to say that Arch Linux is better.

I have my old MacBook with OS 10.6, FreeBSD, and Arch, my new notebook with only Arch, and a netbook with three OSes on SquashFS images that came with it that I don't use along with Ubuntu (from the rootfs tarball, not the whole distro). No Windows in my house! :P OpenBSD is my favorite, but Sandy Bridge graphics didn't work in 5.0 and I haven't yet gotten around to installing it since 5.1 was released. :(
