Windows 8.1 at home, XP SP3 at work, ice cream sandwich on the phone, and the tablet has whatever Amazon calls their branch of android.

Win 8.1 at home, win 7 at work...hopped on the Ubuntu train a while back but I can't live without visual studio and the adobe master collection.
-
Mac OS X 10.9.2. Not as nice as 10.6.8 but it's required for the newer applications to work.
I also have a Windows XP computer for doing stuff that requires Windows. It's used mostly as a tool, not as something to use and enjoy.

iOS 7.1 on my iPad and Windows 7 on my desktop.

Win 7 on the main PC
Win 98se on an old gaming PC
Dos 6.22+Win 3.11 on an older gaming PC
XP at work... its fun watching them flipping out about the end of support. Considering all our PCs are getting very old and dont have a prayer of running Win 7 its really quite funny.

So, they updated your outdated OS with another updated OS, how brilliant...

Nice, I also use Xubuntu was using Lubuntu before that about half a year ago but Xu has more features I like.
Xubuntu for my daily driver
Win7 on my nicer pc, need it for certain programs and gaming but don't really like it compared to linux.
Getting ready to upgrade to the new Xubuntu release :dance:
-
My main work computer has XP SP3 because it can't really handle 7 or 8. I'll get a Windows 8 laptop soon enough and move this system into the other room and make it a Slitaz box for doing gcc-v810/liberis (PC-FX homebrew ftw). My Android smartphone is running 2.2.1. The only other system in the house is running Windows 7, but I don't use it because it isn't mine.

Ha awesome! Your preferences for PC Engine and Xubuntu reveal a gentlemanly character and impeccable taste.
LXDE is pretty cool, I tried it out for a while but I always kept going back to XFCE. I agree that XFCE has a better feature set, but I think both are good choices. I tried all the major desktop environments (and even flirted with window managers briefly) when Ubuntu went from GNOME to the utter horror that is Unity.
I'm not 100% in love with the packages that come with Xubuntu but that's easy-enough to change. I have the same ambivalence toward Ubuntu's core product, but I love Debian/APT and it's just the most convenient way to access that eco-system. I just don't have the time to spend my life configuring Linux distros.
-
Windows 7 for my primary work machines at home and at work. XP on the netbook. I dual boot XP and edubuntu on my Pentium 4 for the home theater/kids rig. There is so much good free stuff available for kids in edubuntu.
I have previously had Xubuntu installed on an older machine and loved it.
-
Last Linux distro I used was redhat 6 or something.... Cant remember exactly. I remember playing tux racer and tron on it.
-
I currently used Fedora as my OS of choice on my desktop and laptop with Windows XP and 7 running in Virtual Machines if I need to use a Windows tool that won't work in Wine. My desktop environment of choice is XFCE as well :)

Nice to see some linux users, I've put most of my family members on it as I got sick of fixing their windows related bs.
yeah xubuntu and lubuntu are great for anyone who likes it simple and effective or people who are use to xp. I tried elementary recently and that was kinda cool if you are into a mac style defo worth checking out. I use to like E17 bodhi a few years back, was fun to flash it up with themes and conky, plus it uses little resources but didn't like the layout of menus and it seemed overly complex. still i keep and eye on e17 distros on distrowatch. for fun here is a shot of e17 and of my current desktop before I update to 14.04

Yesterday I installed Lubuntu on my wife's netbook and have had a blast playing with it. It's amazing how similar the experience is to Windows XP. LibreOffice, Picasa, Dropbox, Skype, Firefox - everything we've been using on XP we can use in Lubuntu (though I had to set up Wine for Picasa, which was absurdly simple).
-
Xubuntu 4 lyfe
I was a long time KDE user, up until KDE 4.0 came out and ruined the experience. Since being forced to migrate off of KDE 3.X, I've been using XFCE at home and haven't looked back.
-
Just windows 7 on the desktop that's all and i never saw a reason to upgrade to windows 8.
-
I totally forgot Steam is now supporting Linux (to a degree). I spent this afternoon revisiting Half-Life. I remember bitd a friend of mine had a monster gaming PC and I was floored when I first saw HL on his machine. Now it plays flawlessly on a 6 yr old $300 netbook, running Linux! I couldn't get HL2 running on it, but that wasn't much of a surprise. I only dabble with Linux 2-3 times a year and I'm always impressed at how things are developing. It'll be nice to have a dedicated machine (albeit an old netbook).

MSX-DOS and BASIC
-
Ubuntu Linux. I'd never go back to crummy Windows again.
-
Windows 7 on all of my devices, not that I use my pc much. I did have a linux partition, but did away with it.
-
At home most of my PCs are Windows 7. My Surface Pro 2 is Windows 8.1 and I absolutely love the thing. I've got older XP and '98 boxes as well which I use approximately never. There's an Apple II GS in pieces in my office and thumbsticks and DVDs containing various linux distros (mint, ubuntu, backtrack). I use those even less than the XP and '98 boxes.
Work is mostly Windows 7 with the occasional Windows Server 2012.
I don't have any major complaints for any of the OS's I use. Each does what I need it to do.

I've been considering selling my iPad and getting a surface pro. Those things are badass.

When I see KDE, it makes me a sad panda, I haven't liked it since launch, keep trying to give it another go, but YUCK....
TOP WM's for me
Gnome, just always feels right
Cinnamon, really grew on me
Fluxbox, so simple and lightweight
KDE, ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Honestly I don't know if I'd do that. The Pro 2 works amazing as a laptop. It's slim and the touch controls are awesome. The stylus is awesome and the handwriting recognition is pretty spot on. I'm still learning OneNote, but it's pretty damn cool so far. Battery life I swear exceeds my phone. Most importantly it runs real Windows, which means Steam, emulators, real browsers, 3DSMax, damn near everything.
It works as a fine tablet as well, but it's pretty heavy. That's probably my biggest complaint. If your major use case is "Sitting on the shitter browsing" then I don't know if it's the best choice. Be aware that this is the kind of device that craves landscape display. It'd be awesome if they'd some how make the kickstand work vertically and horizontally.

My use case is more along the lines of "i need real applications" than sit on the couch stuff. My iPad is currently relegated to playing porn and episodes of Chrontendo.
EDIT: CHRONtendo...damn auto correct

:lol: awesome
If that's the case then you'll love it. Get the bluetooth arc mouse as well. Straightens out small, works on any surface I've tried it on (including glass), and it's bluetooth! The middle mouse "button" feels great too, there's weight to the wheel.
And because Sadler's drinking beer: if you are running any sort of network in your house, FFS get yourself Mouse without Borders (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35460).

After finishing up my xubuntu install and getting it the way I like it. let me recomend lubuntus box icon theme btw

I got curious and installed bodhi on another computer to check it out again...damn it is sexy, the themes and compositing effects are real cool. well Im still playing around with it, but wanted to recommend trying the live cd. (Its a bit of work to customize it to your likeing) Ill post a shot or vid in a few days for fun.

Windows 8. I know that the interface somewhat "sucks" but when you learn to use it it's not bad at all.
Also I boot DOS via USB to play some games directly without emulation (however without sound... sigh). I use it to play old KOEI games.
I'm considering to install a linux distro again on my PC but I always regret it and end up uninstalling it for various reasons.

Well Amiga OS 4 now works on x86 machines. :)

Surprised that so many workplaces still use XP.
My three:
*XP "legacy" desktop I keep around for some old games and things that need SCSI, ZIP discs, and floppies.
*XP / Win7 dual-boot 2010 laptop, does everything from native dial-up modem and TV Tuner to USB 3.0, HDMI, ESATA, SPDIF, a card reader, and a real docking station.
*XP audio computer, my favorite. 2007 Dell, downgraded from Vista, has been online once for two necessary Windows updates. Otherwise it's an internet virgin with nothing but audio software and boots in about 8 seconds. Awesome.

spent a few more hours customizing bodhi today got a conky tweaked and made a desktop to go with the theme made a short vid (screencap) showing off the desktop :)

Good googly moogly that's hot. I'm running lunbuntu on my netbook, but think I'll try Bodhi on my old P4 (if it'll run on that). That's the machine I use more anyway (my wife uses the netbook so lubuntu is perfect since it's so close to XP).

yeah I wouldn't replace lubuntu with it untill you try it out on a beater pc or something, whats neat is how low on resources e17 is and it has all the eye candy. defo worth checking out and fun to play with.
I went back to my xubuntu pc and will likely keep using it for my daily driver. its just too good/perfect for me at least.
I just don't like the menu system on bodhi and there are a few other minor things that bother me too much. but I kept it on my other pc and will play around with it some more for fun.
I'm currently having a lot of fun playing with conky and will show off some shots soon.

Back in 2006 or so I had a dedicated Xubuntu computer and I loved it. It was low on resources and stable and had the Ubuntu support forums available for when I tinkered with something too much and broke it (which happened from time to time). Xubuntu is such a great OS.
