Linux and OS X primarily, but have XP to test IE7 so all the dumbasses can add just "one more toolbar!" from one of my aff links... its funny tailin the log files when a non-advanced XP user visits the site. The referrer string is like 2k characters from all the damn toolbar signatures.

Think that sums up the computers i use on a daily basis.. Lets not get into the production server list... Thats a text file heh.
 
XP is fine for me. I really didn't have a problem with Win2k. I enjoyed fooling with other OS's and I wish I had time to tweak but I get pussy on a regular basis.
 
Main PC - Vista Home Premium
Video/music PC - XP
Another PC (currently just used to monitor server) - XP (prob gonna make this a linux box soon)
pda/phone - Windows Mobile 6 (nice hacked up ROM from xda-developers)
 
I have been using Ubuntu on my development desktop and it is decent, Sucks having to switch back over to my windows laptop to use Photoshop though.

i used to do that and you don't need to.
get virtualbox. i use it for photoshop and adwords editor. runs almost as smooth as a real windows install, boots in seconds.
 
My new laptop came with Vista. Installed Ubuntu on a partition, but missed photoshop and illustrator, so I went back to Vista. Tried installing xp, but on this particular laptop it turned out to be a bigger pain than dealing with Vista. Next time I will look into buying a Mac.
 
windows xp because it just works, you can install everything in 1 second and everything just simply works

I can't spend 3 days trying to install a wireless card on linux etc...
