1) Main OS:  
Work:  Solaris 9  and  Win2k
Home:  Win2k and Solaris 9 and Mac OS9.2

2) Using Win2k (upgrading it to XP) for basic stuff-- compatability with Work.   The Solaris because that works the best on my Sun Workstation -- plus there are some advantages to it for some development work I do.   Mac OS 9.2  cause my wife won't let me upgrade her computer to 10.3  lol

3)  No --The Sun Workstations will stay with Solaris.  
Yes -- on my Intel boxes will go Win XP with a Dual boot into Debian Linix .  
One of the reasons for the XP and linix to to use one of the UAE -- yes reading all this about Amiga has got me very interested  in trying out the A3.9 or A4.0 (if it is ever released). I am possibly interested in taking a plunge and getting an AmigaOne at some point .  

I like the Idea of Alternatives, -- seems the world is divided into a binary choice on small and mid-tier computing --  MS  and Unix (OSX falls into this being a variant on FreeBDS and Nextstep).  
I like the idea that the Amiga kernal and Morph kernal are small, efficient with some nice features -- I also like the dedicated community of users.
That says a lot for the product .
