I use several different OSes here.  Win 98SE, 2K, XP, Vista, and 7.  As well as Mac OS 7, 8, 9.2.2, and 10.4.1.1 (I think).   I also use my Amiga computers which have OS 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 3.5 and 3.9.  I even have an old PC that has OS/2 Warp on it.  I am no good with Linux but I do try to play with the distros from time to time.  I even have (Blasphemy!!) an Atari MegaST 2 with Tos 2.something in it.  The only OS I have used that I have had any problems with was Vista.  I always likened Vista to a 2 week dead pig lying in the sun, its bloated skin stretched to the point of bursting from all of the noxious fumes inside.  Well that's how it felt to me, and I have a fairly okay system.  An OS is merely a tool to access the programs that you use most frequently.  They are supposed to be designed to not get in the way and to maximize your experience.  If someone came out with an OS tomorrow (looking at google...) that allowed me to do everything I do with my Windows box (mostly games, but I am trying to make an old adventure game...) then I would more than likely check it out.  If it didn't get in my way. {shrugs} I'd use it.

     In response to your 2. I have heard of in the hackintosh forums that one of the Dell Mini Notebooks was fully supported to be a Hackintosh.  I cannot remember the model number but it was apparently a big deal and then Dell stopped selling the model.  On the stability of OSX on a hackintosh, I don't know.  I helped a friend of mine build a hackintosh and we followed the guides online and the thing has never had an issue so those stability issues might be hardware related.  My G4 Mac crashes OSX so I cannot be sure.  Then again I haven't encountered an OS I couldn't crash...  It's one of the reasons I like to beta test OS software.  I enjoy finding things that break so they can be fixed later.  

*edit* It was the Dell Mini 9, and it was quickly replaced with the Mini 10V that wasn't fully compatible.
