[Steve Jobs]

Mac OSX Lion. I'm looking at installing Windows on it soon.

[Jess]

I use Windows 7

[JackOfClubs]

I dual boot Windows Home Premium x64 and Ubuntu 11.04.

[Commander Thor]

I used to dual boot Windows & Ubuntu, but I really have no use for doing that.
I use Windows 7 Pro almost exclusively now.

[Jufjufjuf]

OSX Win7 and BT5

[BFG9001]

I use Windows 7

Same.

[TheMatrix]

Windoze 7 on my laptop, as well as several Linux distros in VMs.
Then on my Desktop I run openSuSE 11.4 as my main OS, and as of recently FreeBSD for experiments.

[ManyPearTree]

I'm running the Windows 8 Developers preview but it is essentially Windows 7..

sorry for being stupid but what does it mean to dual boot? how does it work? :P

Dual booting means you have 2 (or more) operating systems installed on the same machine. You get the choice of which one you want to load when you first boot the machine up.
So you can have Windows and Ubuntu installed at the same time, if you want. Or you can go the Hackintosh route (Installing OSX on non-Mac hardware), and also have Windows still installed.
Or EVERY distro of Linux ever created (Provided you have enough hard drive space). :P

[anonymous53]

Windows 7, Windows 8 "Dev Preview" dual boot laptop

Desktop Windows 7, Windows XP Dual boot

USB Drives for booting Ubuntu, BT5r1

[Aves]

Windows Vista (I hate it).

[scuba steve]

Still running Vista, but i'm due a laptop upgrade anyway.

[Rayquaza]

Now just Windows 7.
In the past year, I have dual booted and triple booted into Windows, Kubuntu and A Legal Hackintosh (Don't say that hackintosh is illegal. Use google to see how it is.)

But then I saw theres no point dual or triple booting. If I need to run linux I just do in VirtualBox.

[ponygon101]

Wow, there are more Linux users here than I would have expected. I just recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 with Wubi and I'm liking it very much so far. I'm pretty much only using Windows 7 just for syncing my iPhone now.

[RelicHunter97]

Windows Vista. Suck it. :P

[User_Does Not Exist]

Windows 7, miss how fast and simple XP used to be though
512GB ram did all the work now minimum is like 3gigs :/

[DarkHorses]

I have Windows 7. I used to have Ubuntu before I got my new computer, and I miss it :( Much better than Windows. :/

[Auzzie 94]

Win7, I have Windows 7 on this laptop, I have Windows XP for both of my PC's, one's my brothers, the other PC is mine. I prefer Windows XP to Win7 or anything else.. just because XP doesn't have many problems and is easy to use.

[project_icarus]

I'm using Win7 on the desktop, XP on my laptop and '95 on my... much, much older computer :P

[Djentleman]

Lion but soon to be Mountain Lion!

[applegeek897]

I run mac os x lion on my mac pro and but still use windows 7 on it almost everyday for games and other windows things thanks to bootcamp

[kenoloor]

OS X Lion desktop and a virtual Windows 7 Ultimate machine. But I mostly just use my android tablet and run a remote desktop when I need shit from my computer.

Are you sure you spelled that right? ;)

[Invisible Ninja]

I have 2 laptops, one runs Windows 7 (home premium), and another one that runs Windows XP. I like the Windows seven one alot more. If you want to count it, I have a 4th generation iPod touch running iOS 5, It's my favorite (:

[PROGAMEMASTER]

Mountain Lion

[Midland]

Mac OS X 10.7 Lion on my laptop and Ubuntu 11.10 on my experimental web server.

[Silicate Wielder]

I run ubuntu 11.10 and plan to upgrade to the next version after i try the demo

[InfinantSilence]

I have you all beat. I run windows 8 'consumer preview'.

[Commander Thor]

I have you all beat. I run windows 8 'consumer preview'.

Considering the fact that all posts in this thread besides yours were made before the Consumer Preview was released, no, you do not have anyone beat.
Also, please tell me you're not running the Preview as your primary operating system. It would be extremely idiotic to be running it as your primary/only OS.

[Dimitri]

Ummm, Mac new thingy...just got it at the beginning of last semester...

[Jupiter]

I use Windows 7

this.

i dont really like it.

[screamtobeheard]

Lion.

[Cognizant]

On My Mac Mini: Mac OS X Leopard (10.5)
I was going to upgrade to 10.7, but there is no direct way to do it without spending $70

On my PC: Win 7, 8, XP, and Ubuntu 11.04

[Coolboi]

why would it be bad ... and no i dual boot win. 7 and win. 8

[xXl0sth0peXx]

Windows 7.

I loved XP so much, but the 'pinning' ability and the searching ability in the start menu are the best (and possibly the only good) features in W7.

I'll stand by windows on one thing. XP was amazing. The best OS they did by far in my opinion.

[Mayon]

Gaming PC - Windows 7
Laptop - Windows 8 - Developers Preview :P

[Erasmus]

Windows 7 all the way!!!!!!!!!!

[Cognizant]

Upgraded W7 to W8.....
and to those who are wondering:
yup, it sucks dick........It F$*@^# up skype and other programs of mine up :angry:

[Amnesiac]

Well, that's probably because it's not done yet. Why would you even expect Skype to work on Windows 8 if the release date for Windows 8 hasn't even been announced yet?

Jesus, please don't blame your programs not working on an operating system that's still being developed.

Pretty much exactly this.
You can't expect pre-release software to work swimingly. You have to expect there to be bugs, and performance issues.
Not to mention Skype hasn't yet been updated for Win8.
Come the time Win8 is released, most of the major bugs and performance issues will be fixed. And Skype, and every other program you're having issues with, will work better.

But right now, you simply can't be mad at 8, when you went into this knowing that it's pre-release (Aka: Beta) software.
If you can't handle the bugs and issues 8 has right now, then perhaps it's time go back to 7 until 8 is officially released?

[Boss_1996]

Well where to start....
Windows 98 on Advent 8596 (Really Old PC)
Windows XP on Dell Dimension 8400
Windows XP on Packard Bell iMedia 5064
Windows Vista/Windows 8 Consumer Preview (Dual Boot) on Dell Inspiron 1545
Windows 7 on Dell Inspiron 560
Windows 7 on Custom Built Gaming PC

[Silicate Wielder]

I have you all beat. I run windows 8 'consumer preview'.

Actually I have YOU BEAT. I'm now working on MY OWN OS. Its called utubu.
And Utubu is Ubuntu's smarter and friendlier little brother. :)

You're not impressing anybody with that, and bragging about it won't get people to like you any better. Heck, they'll probably be discouraged from using it if anything at all.

And besides that, if you're not going to say anything productive, you may as well not post.

[Infidelitas]

Windows 7 Ultimate on both Laptop and Desktop.

I am going to wait until they release the full version of Windows 8 before I upgrade, otherwise it would be just asking for trouble.

Yeah I got carried away, I easily get carried away with things i make or modify... >_>

True...
but isn't Windows 8 running the same Kernal as W7? That would mean I shouldn't have "scripting" issues with skype..just a fancy new UI and Name.

[User Deleted]

Windows Vista (I hate it).

I have vista too. Herp-a-derp I'm getting really used to it after a couple years.

I have Windows 7 Ultimate in a virtual machine, I used to dual boot the two, but not anymore

[Infidelitas]

Upgraded my hard drive on my desktop, and don't have another copy of W7, so its dual boot with Linux Mint and Windows XP. I gotta say, I still really like XP.

I wanna try to get win 95 on a virtual machine, but have had no luck

[SLABBS]

I use a Pirated version of Windows 7 Alienware. its pretty fancy looking, but i think Microsoft needs to make a new windows that's just made for speed, and efficiency like windows xp was.

[Thunduhbuhlt]

Just plain ol' Windows 7 Ultimate.

[Silicate Wielder]

Ubuntu 11.10, going to upgrade to 12.04 LTS.
