basically in any given week what OS would you be found using, this is not just your primary OS, but all OSs you are currently using on all machines. if you notice I missed something, tell me what I missed and I'll add to the list
do post what your primary OS is and anything else interesting about your OS usage.

my primary OS is Linux Mint, a derivative of Ubuntu part of the Debian Linux family. I also run windows 7 for programming assignments and games, though I'm trying to find ways around that.

Primary OS: Ubuntu Karmic
Since the only game I really play is FS2_Open, everything works out okay.  I also have an old PowerBook G4 in the living room for convenience.

XP.  I occasionally have to use a redhat linux station at uni.

[Mongoose]

One machine, running just XP.  On very rare occasions I hop onto the family machine, which is running Vista Home Premium, but that's not enough to even count.

XP.  Every computer in the house runs it, and we aren't going to upgrade until we feel 7 is worth upgrading to, probably sometime next year I guess.  I'm certainly in no hurry, as XP does everything I need it to, and I'm not sure what 7 would add that I would use.

I run Windows 7 as a main OS. I've got XP on Virtual Box so I can install Visual Studios and SQL Servers without having to worry about them making a havok out of my system with unnecessary services among other things. I've also got Ubuntu on Virtual Box. Both of these are for university assignments and testing stuff.

If I got a dedicated partition for linux (which I find too much an hassle nowadays) I'd probably install Gentoo.

Oh, and I've got two systems set up this way. A desktop and a laptop.

Vista on my desktop, 7 on my laptop

[Thaeris]

Stuck with Vista on my computer, though since I've not been doing anything lately which has needed substantial computing power, it's not been a problem. 

I grew up with Mac, however, and would not at all mind going back if possible.

You left out DOS and need an other column.  I run XP on all my workstations but one which I still use DOS 6.22 on.  Server side I used Netware 6 and 6.5.  

[lostllama]

XP, for ~99% of the time.

[Bob-san]

I run Se7en and XP

[Colonol Dekker]

What does Linux debian based mean?
 
My desktop uses Vista, and my netbook is a dual boot win7-ubuntu job.
 
So i'll tick the linux that applies to that. . . . .once you tell me what choice ubuntu falls under

[The E]

Linux debian based means a distro that is based on the debian distribution. Ubuntu and its derivatives are derivatives of debian.

BTW, /me is using Win7 primarily, with Ubuntu as a backup.

[Bobboau]

what he said, Ubuntu is in the Debian family, which seems to account for more than half the Linux world (in terms of usage).

the results are interesting so far, I was expecting a lot more macs and a lot less linuxes.

[SpardaSon21]

This forums does contain a fair amount of computer nerds.  I'm not surprised at all.

I mean really, who could have guessed?

[SpardaSon21]

Holy ****, I completely bungled the start of that first sentence.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

My primary OS is Mac OS X, because it connects to the Internet far better than my IBM crate, which runs Windows XP.

However, I turn to my IBM crate if I need to store stuff and/or play games.

[Kosh]

Ok, who picked DOS?

[Bobboau]

probly the guy who asked for it
