Dual Booter of
1. win98 R2
2. win2k SP3
and I only keep win98 for the old old games that don't run under win2k. If it wasn't for those, I'd just use win2k. I'll probably try XP Pro one day, but I've no reason to at the moment.

Okay here are the results
Most common operating system used is:
1st 11 for XP (Suprise, suprise)
2nd = Win2k and MacOSX
OSX hasn't crashed, or even threatened to crash, you guys harp on about XP not crashing like it is a feature
