I've got Windows Millennium on my old desktop (using it right now), and Windows 98SE on my old laptop. Also, I have a halfway put together Windows 95 computer (not enough time to fix it up).
Other than that, I have updated OS's: Vista (desktop), 7 (Laptop, dual with Mint), Linux Mint 9 (Laptop, dual with 7), Puppy 5 (Old laptop, dual with 98SE).
Then, of course I have a Compaq SLT/286 with DOS 3.0. :D
What about you people?

Vista isn't too bad, it has problems booting up on most systems though. Also, it is not very stable. (but more stable than Millennium)
7 is just Vista, besides being a little more stable and having better transparency.

My new laptop (Gateway NV5207u) has Windows 7 Home Premium x64. Our new desktop (Gateway DX4300-15e) also has Windows 7 Home Premium.
My old laptop (IBM ThinkPad T41) has Ubuntu 9.10. Our old desktop (HP Pavilion A1600n) has Windows XP Media Center Edition. My dad's laptop has Windows XP Professional. His old laptop has Windows 7 Release Candidate on it. And our really old desktop has Windows ME on it.

I used Vista 64-bit but recently went back to Linux which I've played with on and off for the last few years. I alternate between Debian and Ubuntu. Tried Debian Testing but ran into major hardware issues which I didn't get with Lenny so I loaded up Ubuntu 10.04.
Would've used the amd64 version but went with i386 because my experiences of Linux for 64-bit computers have not been very satisfying.

7 is Windows XP, with Vista's GUI.
I run Vista Profesional x64 on my laptop and x32 for my tower. I also run somewhat rarely my old ancient computer with Server 2008 on it.

I haven't had much luck with Kubuntu, it's certainly not my favorite KDE distro.
Now using Fedora, which I find a lot more stable than Ubuntu, but requires some linux knowledge so if you don't know a lot, stick to Ubuntu.

I've had Windows Xp Pro. Nowadays, I use Windows 7 Pro for gaming, and Linux for everything else. I still have a copy of Windows Xp running under VirtualBox to run a few Windows apps.
As for Linux distros, I've started with Fedora, switched to Ubuntu (I found the package management better), then quickly escaped to Debian/Unstable I still use nowadays. I've also tried SuSe. I chose Debian because I found it overall having a better organization of stuff (they tend to organize files in a more IMHO logical way) and they have a good package/bug support.
