What Operating system do you prefer the most?
For home its Xp only. (Because of all the games I play)
For Server its linux because it runs more stable for longer periods of time without reboot.

Windows XP for home. Whoever claims Linux is more convenient for home use is kidding themselves.

CentOS 5 (Linux) for server. Works amazingly well as a web server.. stable, secure, and customizable.
 
For home, Windows XP Pro SP3, Windows Vista Ultimate, or Ubuntu 8.10.

For server, CentOS 4, CentOS 5, or Ubuntu 8.10 server edition.
 
Vista/Fedora/Ubuntu

I use Linux because I get bored easily, and you feel very acomplished when it takes 1 hour to get PS CS2 working.

But Vista mostly. For games and pissing away time on random packages.

I have only used Linux on servers, never windows.
 
linux on servers, linux on one of my computers and vista on the other (with dual boot linux also).
 
Windows @ home & linux for server.

I would never use a windows server as i have heard to many bad things about them but then I would properly never go back to linux for home..

I disagree. I've always liked XP and have never been a great fan of Linux for desktop usage. But since I gave openSUSE 11.1 (with KDE 4) a try I changed my mind. While it stays true that the bulk of developers are still only developing for MS, that does not mean that Linux is a no-go. It is (from my honest point of view from working with openSUSE) MORE convinient then windows. Its like stepping into a free world if you know what I mean. Not only can I do whatever I could with Windows, I can do that and much more cos of the open source nature of Unix based software.

If a person thinks that Linux is impossible to deal with for home usage - truth be told - it tells more about the person then it does about Linux.
