Which operating system do you use?

Windows XP Home Edition, service pack 3.
For a few months I used Vista, though after several "accidents" involving beta video drivers and "power cuts" (Younger siblings), I was forced to reinstall. Being a pirated copy, and with XP SP3 just around the corner, I just installed XP (Legitimate) instead.
And guys, Vista does NOT suck. And the requirements aren't omgsuperhineednewcompy. It ran well on my friends single-core Dell Dimension 3000. Only gripes with it were the slow copy/move/delete operations, which were apparently fixed in SP1.

Way better than the shitty Windows ME that came with the computer.

Heh, I think that I've used almost a dozen different ones so far... Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, MacOS X, DragonFlyBSD, AmigaOS, BeOS, etc.
I really liked trying every OS I could get my hands on some time ago, but nowadays I prefer to have a stable one on the machine I use primarily and that's why I don't dual boot anymore, but if I have to use another OS, I put it on another computer.
I just don't like virtualized environments or emulators to run an OS, it defeats the purpose.
Currently I run Windows Server 2003 x64 and my brother Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs.
On an almost unused laptop I put SkyOS, just to try it out.

Used to have WinME, now I got XP Service Pack 2.
Welp, on this computer, I use Windows XP SP1. I also have a computer of my own that runs Windows ME.

Windows XP Home Edition. I also have a Windows ME that I used to use before I was introduced to this one.

Yes, yes I know. Most programs run on Windows, (including SRB2!) And my new computer came with Vista, so... Yeah. Vista's not as bad as everyone thinks it is. I run Linux in Virtual Machines.

Windows XP SP2 (My comp sucks and won't update to SP3), but I'm planning to get Vista soon.
