    Windows 2000 on the laptop I use most of the time.

    I also have an old computer made up of old parts. Sometimes if I cross my fingers it'll boot up on XP. I also have Ubuntu Linux on it which it seems to like better.

    I put Ubuntu on it because the free disks for it came in on the day I was messing about with the drive. Could have just as easily been Knoppix or Linspire 'cause I've got discs for them as well

    I have a triple-boot (XP Pro, SUSE and Slackware) on my main PC, with a dual-boot (Win 98 and Zenwalk Linux) on my second PC and on my Laptop have Puppy Linux and MS-DOS.

    I also run VMWare and have Vista, Win3.1 (ha ha!) and Solaris.

    The thing is... I know absolutely nothing about Linux, so still spend most of my time in XP... I must be crazy :-P
