Personally I have two machines I put windows 7 on. My next computer is going back to Ubuntu though. I honestly loved Ubuntu but last time I installed it I had problems with flash so I had to go back to windows for school. When I finally get a new computer ill throw Ubuntu on it and get to using that again.
Windows 7 This OS is really solid and visually very pleasing. My favorite feature: Making pages instantly become half the screen. It's very helpful for school.

I agree. Microsoft finally built a stable, fast OS.

THIS. I'm so angry I didn't buy an extra copy of Windows 7 during the student pricing for my laptop It's stuck with XP now.
I wish I had the half page feature on my XP laptop and my MacBook.

I was fortunately able to get one copy of Windows 7 for $10 and 1 month before official release for my notebook. They only allowed one per student though. You should check with your school to see if they have a special discounted price for students. I know my school has some kind of deal with Microsoft and we get a lot of stuff either very cheap or free.
I used to be anal about having two of my pages as close to half the screen as possible, hehe. I would actually spend a decent amount of time reducing the page and then trying to resize it perfectly. It was very annoying.
I've been very lucky to not have any problems with Windows ever since my first XP desktop. VERY lucky. I had 4 problems with Apple's computers. In general, I've been lucky with my tech products... now I cursed myself...
Main O/S is ubuntu 10.4 game dule boots win7- and unbuntu netbooks use ubuntu netbook edtion laptops boots apple os file server use cobolt unix and the table uses android a strange mix im shure but each fits the job fine

I've checked! I don't get anything discounted at my school really. It stinks.
It seems like all the discounts are waiting for me once I (hopefully) get a job. Even VZW offers teachers a discount on their bill when my university doesn't! Won't people think of the poor graduate students?
Right now I work in an IT department, mainly in their web design area. I'm often working with multiple windows on my large monitor and I too often spend time getting them just right. I still have XP on the work computer, but I've been bugging the higher ups to upgrade my PC to Windows 7 with the excuse that it will improve my workflow. I think once we grab Adobe's CS5 suite they might just upgrade everything at once.
Primary: MacBook Pro running 10.6.x
Dekstop: Windows 7 64-bit (quad core for photo editing)
Laptop: Windows 7 64-bit
Work: Windows 7 32-bit (was XP until Tuesday when I formatted it to put 7)
I have a mix of everything. Wifey has a mac book and xp pro running on an older sony viao desktop. I have an xp media center with vaious vm's on virtual box, Ubuntu dell mini 9, xp pro for work laptop, and Win 7 box that im building. also a few ipods and verizon incredible, and soon a sprint EVO. Oh and 2 snap server NAS devices.

Nice, I used Slackware for a while. Excellent distro.
It has actually made some huge strides in the last few years. Dumping Gnome seems to have allowed a lot of time for doing other things. Toss in a couple of useful software installation tools like sbopkg and src2pkg and you've got a distro that can go up against any other.
i like windows 7 since i got to play with it on my siblings computers, didn't have to do much troubleshooting with them since it's almost actually stable.
Just installed Virtual Box and Ubuntu and loving every minute of it. Its so nice to have a fast operating system, windows 7 is ok but this new laptop screams on Ubuntu.
What operating system are you using?
It's stuck with XP now. 
Windowd for me
Linux ubuntu
