I have never heard of Windows 2003 . . .
I use Windows XP Home, I am still trying to figure out how to Install Mandrake Linux, else I would probably use that a lot.

Windows 2003 was only released as a server OS. It's basically a version of XP that is meant to be run on servers.

I use Windows XP Pro, but I have still the windows 95 and windows 98se cds, just in case.... I've still got windows 3.11 disks somewhere. All 11 or so of them.
I used to have linux, which was nice, but it wasn't compatable with my onboard lan card. I had another lan card, but for about a year and a half I just couldn't be bothered to stick it in. I got rid of it when I finally plugged in my DVD drive which was sitting idle in its bay in. I have a crazy RAID motherboard, which I don't use or need, but I have to switch it on if I want to use more than two IDE slots (which I do). But then linux won't boot (it can't recognise it, and I can't be bothered to fix it). So that's my story of why I got rid of linux. The fun of trying to fix the problems far outweighed the actual benefit of keeping linux on my system.

Running XP Pro on this pc right now. Got Slackware 10 isos on here somewhere, plan on installing it on an old pc I have, once I get that pc fixed and working.
Use XP Home on my main computer (all the computers in this house have XP Home), but I voted Mac OS (10) as we use that at school, so I'm used to both.
Oops, I didn't notice this was a multi-choice poll...
So I voted for the Mac option only.
Although on our home comp there is Win 98SE, at school XP Pro... and 95 on an ancient laptop.
You should have included Mac OS X and Older Mac OS:es at least as separate options... as you have almost all of windows OSes listed there...
Except not Bob.

I'm currently running XP Pro, will be building another box and run linux on it and possibly build another box, because I feel like it.
Will be getting another case to house my current system in, the case and the fan in the PSU is about knackered.

My machine is running Linux: Mandrake 10.1 Official, Fedora Core 3, and Ubuntu. (I also have a Win2000Pro partition for those games that won't work at all in Linux. )
My daughter has WinXP SP1, that her ex-husband gave her.
She also stuck it onto my wifes laptop a couple months ago when her system was down and she needed to borrow it for homework.
My wife has asked me to put Win2000 back on it as soon as possible.
When I build a machine soon for the grandkids, it will have Win98SE or WinMe, because even 2000 won't run some of the older kids programs we have.
(If it was up to me, they would all be running Linux!)
