I must have forgotten at least one, so if I have, tell me and I'll add it in. ^_^

Myself: Windows 98 SE. Ancient, but there you are... -_-

EDIT: 450 posts. :D

I choose Win XP Pro. Because I love Linux, however, I use XP for everthing.

EDIT: Oh, yeah, you forgot Mac.
I don't check this forum anymore.

Yeah, I knew that, but I thought I'd list it as a separate option as it's somewhat newer than Win 95... ;)

Just so you know, you forgot Windows 3.1 and MS-DOS, but I guess nobody uses those anymore.

Both my parents' and my computer use Windows ME.
Rereading these forums make me feel old >.<

I did NOT forget Windows 3.1, I was just keeping it within the realms of reason. And I find it somewhat hard to believe that anybody would be browsing these forums with MS-DOS...for goodness' sake... <_<

And thanks, I added NT. ;)

You are still forgetting Mac!
I chose other because I use MacOS X Panther 10.3.1

Just so you know, the most probable Mac operating systems are:
MacOS 8
MacOS 9
MacOS X
MacOS X Jaguar
MacOS X Panther

If you'd waited before voting, I could have added a new option for Mac OS. As it is, I've just changed "Other" to include Mac. Unless the other person who chose "Other" meant Mac as well, in which case I'll create a separate "Other" category and alter the current "Other" one to "Mac"?

EDIT: "Posting" to "voting"

I use Win XP Pro mostly, I used to have a seperate HD that I used exclusively for RedHat and SeUS but it crashed on me and I have too much XPBackfire-esque on my main HD to partition it, so my Linux days are over for the duration...

I use several OSs on a daily basis. It depends on what I'm doing really, but the top 3 that I really use are Win 2000, Gentoo Linux and Mac OS 7.6.1. Gentoo Linux is the OS that I'm using when I work on SSC mostly. Win 2000 is for web surfing. Max OS 7.6.1 is for recording and occaisonal graphics work.

Windows XP Professional is the only OS I'd seriously even consider. Needless to say, I'm running XP Pro.
