I use OS X for daily use, I just like it a lot more than Windows... Then I have a Windows 7 partition for gaming. I also use Ubuntu occasionally if I don't have OS X as an option (UNIX FTW).

I use Windows 8. It's surprisingly good and as long as you know how a Windows operating system works the new start menu is barely even noticeable.

Mac on hackintosh, Linux and chromium OS dualboot on laptop, windows on hackintosh.

Also, I tried FreeBSD but I don't have it anymore.

 

[ZAFDeltaForce]

Windows 7. I've always been a Windows user

Alienware M17x R4: Windows 7 x64 Home Premium School and portable gaming and work rig, upgraded to 16GB of RAM
DIY desktop: Windows 7 x64 Home Premium Main gaming and work rig, water cooled, planning on upgrading the RAM and CPU/mobo
Acer aspire one 721: Windows 8 x64 Professional (with media center upgrade since it was free) Crapy laptop which is only usable for word and some light internetting
Really old brandless pc: Windows XP x86 (home edition?) only still have this one because I use it to test my water cooling loop with it's molex power\

I don't realy like Windows 8, IMO it's just too focused on touchscreen pc's and I don't realy like those :/ Metro is forced down your troth and I would have liked to see it as a option :/
Windows 7 is THE OS I like, it could be better with some upgrades that are in Windows 8 (Things like build in ISO reader and some parts of the new task manager), it's customizable enough for me, as I don't want to hassle with codes too much.

Windows 7 at home, Windows 8 at work (and it works AWESOMELY. take that, HATERS). MacOS X Hackintosh when I feel like it.

Various obscure, hard-to-use Linux distros since I'm an elitist bastard and I hate everything that gets too mainstream.

 

[noob killer]

well i use windows because i like the way it feels and runs

OS X mainly (10.6.8 Snow Leopard), but I do have a Win7 partition on the computer for school stuff (CAD (Pro/E, SolidEdge, etc.), modeling, MathCAD) and games. Possibly upgrading to Win8. Used to use a modified Windows GUI, but went back to the original when it was handier for most things (conflicts with some software)..

Win 7.
And what's the purpose of using multiple votes?

LOL cos some have more than one OS

In one computer?
If someone has more than one PC, then it's fine.

Both really. Either have it on separate computers or on a single one by dual-booting or as Apple prefer to call it "using Boot Camp" XD

Whoa, didn't know that. I take that back.
Thanks for mentioning. Didn't know it's possible that way.

I use a Windows 7/Ubuntu 12.10 dual boot. Unity is not my taste, though, so I have both KDE and Classic Gnome installed.

In addition to dual boot

and for a twist on the theme (though less of the multiple operating systems per se)

On any halfway modern machine these will run at basically fully speed for everything but very high end 3d graphics and there are things looking to stop that from being the case as well.

I just would never be able to get used to using Ubuntu or another Linux distro on my desktop. I use Linux on servers, but I use Windows otherwise, because it's what I've been using my entire life and it's hard to get used to something different. There's also the fact that most games aren't available on Linux and that alone is enough that I don't want to use it as my main OS.

Windows 8 is awesome. I got used to the new Start menu pretty fast.

Yeah so did I. Once I figured out the differences between 7 and 8 I instantly fell in love with it. It really doesn't deserve most of the hate it gets.

 

[Panzer Tacticer]

Windows 8.

Why, because my computer guru uses it. And only morons explain to the clearly smarter, a 'better' option

I am not in love with 8, but, I am also not in love with searching for old driver, and taking forever to load patches following a re install and format of the system.

I have no beef with 8 in any way that matters. It runs my shit, it was simple to install and go through the update process. In 3 years I don't expect to be using Windows 8. Most of using 8 is no headache. I even like some of it.

Best part though was MS screwing up the price tag of the upgrade snicker snicker. I got 8 for a lousy 16 bucks, because they mangled the verification process for new machines loaded with 7. Oh yeah suuuuuure I just bought this rig with 7 on it

Now for 200 bucks heheheheheheheheheheeh yeah right. I'd have gotten it the same way I got 7 (which I upgraded from ).
