Which OS do you mainly use?

My main home computer is my Apple powerbook (15" alum. G4, but I'll probably upgrade to a 17" Macbook Pro this fall, now that they finally have the LED screen option), so I mainly use OS X 10.4. My main work computers are all either running OS X (XServe's, some G5, some Intel, but all on 10.4 until we get PBS to play nicely on 10.5) or Linux (Dell poweredge rack servers for the most part, a couple running RedHat enterprise, most running Fedora). My desktop machine at work is a dual-G5 Mac still running OS X 10.4 (will become a dual quad-core Mac Pro running 10.5 come the summer). I also have a Win XP-SP2 box on my desk, but rarely have a use for it.

My home gaming machine is Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP1. So really, the only time I use Windows is when playing a game or sim. My printer at home used to be shared off the Windows box, but I now have a standalone 802.11g inkjet printer (so now the Vista box sleeps or is shut down when not playing games).
