Seems like everyone (myself included) has kicked Vista under the bus, i'm curious of what your current OS (or OS's) of choice are; running MSServer 2003 R2 Enterprise here, how about you?

XP on one and Vista on the other. They are both nice. I understand the XP better but the Vista is cool.  :angel:

OS X all the way for me. I have XP installed in parallels on my macbook for a program I use in the field, and my Vista dell desktop I use for 3D max at work.

vista....i honestly don't see anything wrong with it. That said, i don't have any special computer needs that some users might need and keep them off of vista. I tried ubuntu linux but it seems that it offers more control that i bargained for so i stay away from it.

mine's XP Pro on desktop & laptop.

I like Vista also, after i add another 1gig of RAM on my desktop, that should help a bit.

Notice: Someone managed to trim down Windows Vista to run on Pentium III pc's with 256mb RAM. I don't know it's true or not  :grin:

Well I Run Professional and have Virtual PC so I get the pleasure of installing whatever I want so my money is on Ubuntu and possible OS X Leopard when I finally figure out how to run it on my IBM machine since its suppose to be designed for x86 processors. As for Vista I hope this Millennium(Vista) Phase goes quickly.... 98(tank) 98se(good) ME(tank) XP(good) Vista(tank) Windows 7 Code Name: Blackcomb?????? hopefully good I guess

I've got Vista and Ubuntu 8.04 on my 6 month old Inspiron 1720. I installed Ubuntu one day mainly because I was bored. Took a little while to get it fully up and running but I'd say it runs faster than Vista.
