HP-UX 11i, Solaris 10, Redhat Linux, OS X, Vista, SUSE Linux.

(I would probably like Windows 7, but my "upgrade" install refuses to go from Vista Home to Win 7 Pro, so it's just a coaster at the moment. And Vista won't let me upgrade to Ultimate to see if that'll let me go to Win 7 Pro.)

You can't upgrade from Home to Pro. You need to do a clean install. There's plenty of info on the web (and this forum) about how to do it with the upgrade media.

let me start by saying that my favourite is XP.......I have Vista and XP as a dual boot option.

Pretty sure the poll set up only allowed one option (though most polls allow more). Maybe if OSX was included, as well as other, and multiple votes were allowed to be cast we'd have an interesting picture. I use 3 OSes so 2 of them missed out on my vote here

Mac OSX, why is that listed before Linux? I think you should have listed UNIX-based OS, whereas Linux is just a minority flavour of that.

Technically Linux isn't UNix based, it just looks and feels like Unix so Unix and Linux should be seperate.

Windows 2000

Doesn't have all the crap on it like XP, Vista does. No fancy looks, just performance

I wouldn't mind trying some Linux Various (like Suse, Redhat, CentOS) but I'm not that much of a geek yet

would have orginally said xp loved it.

tried vista that had too much turned off like telnet etc which had too all be turned back on when required but the main complaint before all that was vista was too resource intensive xp used to run on 256mb ram when switched to vista took 512mb just to run bare as is on machine i had.

now for the complete winner by a mile but i do miss xp sometimes is windows 7 a friend of mine said he prefered xp but he said also everyone he spoke with that tried 7 liked it. so i tried it and haven't look back there a couple of minor nusiances but suppose you cant have it always but overall for me i go for this.
