I preffer windows over linux simple because directx haven't been developed for linux yet. But its on the way!
Arch linux at home.
My computer at work has Windows 7 installed.

I should have put Arch on there but I didn't think of it, I'll bet it occupies most of the "other linux" piece of the pie.

Please add the major mobile OSes to the poll.
I think someone should make a separate poll for mobile OS.
Also I'm going to lock this poll on dec 8th, one month after it was opened so that we will have a snapshot in time.

This is very interesting data so far, and I almost want to believe it's not right, but currently the most popular OS for bitcointalk.org is Linux. This tells me that the bitcoin community very much still geeky. Consider that in the general population Linux is only on about 1.6% of desktops according to Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems
In 2011 it was 56.9% for Linux ( https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/operating-system-2891 )https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems
Now in 2013 it seems to be 37.6% so far.
Definitely still more geeky than an average community, but you can see a trend.
I use Ubuntu as my main os.
wow very interesting! thanks for adding that.

using windows xp and I will use this until I have my new laptop
Yes, window 7 is the best...
well it does have the most votes as far as users. But why is it the best? In what ways is it the best?

Win 7 is the best atm.
win 7 is best win
actually I can't think of many reasons why anyone would use, as a home desktop, Win xp. Win 7 is so much better, and if you don't like sharing software and can't afford it, there are plenty of Linux distros out there that are way better than old xp.
Who's using Windows other than XP thru 7? Why in god's name haven't you at least upgraded to XP?
I was wondering that too. what else is still out there being used, maybe a few people with windows 98, 2000 and ME?
