Ubuntu dev and server, Windows7 pretty much just for photoshop! Havent had time to re-learn all the gimp shortcuts!

As much as I like Ubuntu and open source, Gimp won't replace Photoshop anytime soon. Photoshop is the only reason I still keep a Windows 7 VM on my machine.

Student and engineer, here: OS X on both my desktop and notebook.

CEO here, so naturally Win 7 to power Outlook, PowerPoint and IE. ;-)

CIO here, so naturally Ubuntu on both desktop and laptop ;-)

At work a combination of Linux and Windows 7. At home, mostly Windows 7.

Dual boot my work laptop Windows 7 (Work image) and Ubuntu (personal image). The "browsing laptop" at home is on XP and Ubuntu. The netbook is Ubuntu NBR. The desktop is Ubuntu. Two other laptops had recent, uh, physical failures in their LCDs and mainboards getting too thirsty - both ran Ubuntu.

Android and IOS on the phones.

Recently installed Peppermint-Ice, very much impressed by the speed and ease of installation and use.
