    I still use Win 98 ! It supplies all my needs in the PC world, with very few exceptions.For software that doesn't work with it, I can always use the Linux version.
    Win 98 is really fast with my Semprom. XP would be just acceptable. Besides this, it is way smaller...
    I'm really impressed with Leopard. I would love to have a new Mac, but those machines are really expensive here, and there is no reason for that. I can't understand why Apple doesn't sells OS X to PC's. Macs are just ordinary PCs now!
    They would probably make more money doing that, as many people still have problems using Linux. Mac OS is really simple to use, and there is no way to get rid of the shell in Linux (althrough I know some guys that love it  :-? )
    I'll wait for Aros. They are doing a great job with that.  :-D

Well, I use WinCrap just because I'm an Engineer, and all engineering stuff runs on windows (good stuff: most of then will not ask for something bigger than Win98 )
Unix is really cool, but too complicated. Mac is awesome, but lacks software (still my main choice).
If the main reason for using WinCrap is running games, you have 3 nice alternatives:

 - Wii
 - Playstation 3 (well, PS2 still a good buy)
 - X Box (It's better than Windows..)

If any flavour of Amiga OS get to see the light of the day as a commercial alternative, I will not think twice to change to it, because I think an OS should be fast, small and reliable and easy to use to run my software. Let Windows run in virtual machines to supply my needs for specific software.
I've used virtual PC in my Mac before it went dead, and it was good to run MPLab...

I don't like Vista, neither XP. That's why I still use 98. Guess what ? My computer boots in seconds... I have to use XP at the office, and I have to wait 6 minutes to start working.
Of course, the IT guys there make sure our network is slow, and the computers runs loads of useless scrips.
Anyway, I don't see any reason to upgrade now...
