I'll always be a windows user so far as my desktop's concerned, but I have a G1, which runs Android, and I gotta say, I love it.

Another G1 user! High Five!

I love the Android platform, and I can't wait until they get Flash running on it (supposed to release an OS update for it some time this year)

Almost everything I run in some way uses Linux and has been for quite some time. I just adore Linux. Anyways, for my desktop computers I currently use Ubuntu and love it. Although I have to admit it can take a while to get used how it works. I also do miss a few Windows apps but I've found suitable replacements for them or run it via Wine.

Don't be mean, Esqui. You know as well as I do that I don't count streams of topic bumps in the 10. So it's 7 threads.

I'm using Win7 at the moment, but have used Ubuntu in the past.

Since I play games (a lot), I'm sticking with Windows to reduce WINE-related hassle. I do have Cygwin running, though, for the deliciousness of a great terminal.

EDIT: Uh oh. Turns out I suck at maths and missed the big warning at the top. Sorry for the bump. Sad

Lets see my Main Box the Frankenputer 2.0 now with SATA, dual boots XP, heavily tweaked and Knoppix.  I have built a NAS box out of spare parts and a few extra HDDs and it runs FreeNAS off a thumb drive, and my favorite rescue disk is a live CD based in Ubuntu with all the tools needed to fix a box, and I also have one built with BartPE for the same reason.

Win7 is no better, making it Fail7. Go XP! Non-bloat, small memory pawprint! Even comes in 64-bit flavors for those with large disks or RAM amounts.

XP was bloatware and you know it, it was a huge memory hog, had huge backwards compatibility issues, and really was interface design wise a bad page in Microsoft's book.  It may not have been ME but XP is about the worst flavour of windows I've tried.  If you want no bloat out of a Microsoft OS then you'd be using 98SE, with the KernelEx, or if we step away from Microsoft any of the linux distros, because lets be blunt, I was able to run a 200 mhz PII with I think it was a 4000 series Geforce GPU, and using Beryl I was able to get better desktop effect than 7 or Mohave will ever hope of having.  The only real issue was that it couldn't run Second Life smoothly (or nexuiz), but then again I've never been able to get SL to run smoothly under Linux (Fedora for the win by the way w00t).

I'm now using a great distro called Pinguy OS. It's Ubuntu, but set up brilliantly - it looks fantastic, everything works like it should. Take a look!
