The previous poll goes back to 2003, time for an updated version

At home I use Ubuntu 99% of the time and Mac the other 1%. At work we have Windows 2000! It feels like taking a time machine back to the 20th century every day I log on to my computer at work

[Anik]

XP for me, works quite good.

[ServerSide]

Vista, Vista, and more Vista...except for the server which is currently Windows 2003 but soon to be 2008

[Laveklint]

Leopard all the way
Just switched to mac a couple of weeks ago, and I´m loving it!
Got a Macbook Pro for work + home.
My desktopcomp at home got Vista... and I´m NOT loving it
Actually thinking about reverseing it back to XP.

However I WILL switch it out for a new iMac later on.
(once you go MAC you won´t go back)

[Mijiru]

I'm still on XP, I didn't switched to Vista

I'm switching to OSX entirely for sure this year (I have been promising this for a long time now to myself, from the moment CS4 is here (Adobe, get ready to crossgrade my licenses!). I really had it with Windows hardware/driver/support timewasters. The only thing I will miss is Outlook 2007, that's the best MS software ever. Parallels here I come...

I would say Mr Jobs has some time still to come out with a small tower bad a$$ MacPro in the mean time!

Vista here and I must say I'm pretty happy with it. Just don't forget to turn of the air thingy.. that will consume 2 GB Ram or something.

[Micropixel]

I use Vista SP1, sometimes turning off Aero to Standard so that I get more of RAM, but I have 3GB which seems to be enough at the moment.

[ernande]

I made the switch back to Mac about 3 years ago. The great thing about OSX is I can focus more on being a designer and less on being an IT technician. I have XP installed with Parallels, but that's only to take advantage of my instant viewing on Netflix...

[idomain]

Vista SP1 at home - wasn't quite confortable with it, then now I'm very happy with it.
XP SP2 at work - Slow as.

[Hansen]

6 moths later and I HATE Vista.. very much. Thinking of going Mac for real this time

[Matt-Norwood]

ROFL Hansen, oh man you crack me up..."I'm pretty happy with it." Four posts down: "6 months later and I hate it." I have Vista Ultimate installed via Boot Camp on my Mac with 4GB RAM and it runs pretty well, but I agree with ernande's statement; Windows has always seemed to "get in the way" for me when I've used it (least so with XP Professional, which I still run).

[karrott]

I always use Mac. In fact, I've never even used a Windows computer before!

[Hansen]

6 months later and I'm on OSX 10.5 this time Love it! But now I'm hoping I won't be back in 6 months hating this as well..

[rmduran]

The transition is now complete. I'm on a MBP running OS X 10.5 and I simply love it. First, I was freaked out that I was leaving my familiar XP environment. Then, I bought my MacBook Pro WITH Parallels AND Boot Camp for several Windows-"only" jobs. Later on, I kicked Boot Camp and its partition in the butt and finally I said good-riddance to Parallels as well. Now I work EVERYTHING in Mac OS X. No need to go back!
