Thumbs down What Operating System Are You Using? (Primary)

This is my first time on Linux in a few years, I must say I'm loving it. Ubuntu FTW.

Not an OSX fan.... too limiting, lack of support IMO.

Linux is the most efficient to work on imo and Windows offers the most adjustability. OSX for me just lands somewhere between the two but doesn't do either well for me.

Ubuntu on the desktop.
Dual boot the Macbook with XP.
Windows server 2000 on one server.
Windows server 2003 on another server.
Three more XP machines on my LAN.
Four more Macbooks on my LAN, one of which is dual booting.

I don't have enough Linux command line experience to get the Ubuntu machine to mesh with my network properly, so I bought XP to install on it. I might try to dual boot it.

I was using Parallels on my laptop until I got the Parallels BSOD. The fix was too much trouble to bother with. I use VMware on the GF's computer.

I didn't vote.

I use a Linux box for all my 3D work and OSX for all the Adobe CS stuff. Windows free!

Advise....

If you are going to run linux AND windows, put windows ontop of linux rather than the other way around.

File system is quicker that way.

I still like windows for a lot of things though, Adobe products offer no advantage really on Mac like they used to. Now It's really about what you're comfortable with it. I do like the Menu bar on OSX

To get it on Windows use OBJECT DOCK. It's just like what you see at the bottom tool bar on a mac and works great.
