Just curious. I want to see how unpopular Win98 has become. I still have that. :)

I'm currently using XP but i would have a second drive with 98 on it if my 98 disk worked. I found 98 good for older games since XP aint so good at supporting them.

You forgot to list Windows 2003, OSX and BSD. They are popular enough to be listed.

I'm using XP, but I'll never use Vista!

Maybe I should have already voted for Linux...

The 'Other' will do

[As for the poll]

Oh... I wasn't expecting this. Am I the only one who seem to be still using Win98?

Debian primarily. I have Win2k on here too.

Should've used tickboxes, like Maeg said. Anyway; the main awesome computer(s, if you count my brothers) use Win XP, and I get stuck with the ****ty machine with 98 SE.

XP Pro SP2, probably switching to Vista Pro or XP Pro x64 at some point in the next year (i.e. next time Windows fails).

I got XP a couple years ago on my home system, upgrading that from 95. My laptop's been running XP for the last two years also, switching to that from 98.
