I use linux on most of my machines. Ubuntu on my main, Fedora on my file server, and random stuff on others. One box is dual booting win7 just for the occasional gaming and I used to use it to manage my iPod. What do you guys use at home?
 
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.

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...
