    For some reason I've always liked Windows 98 a lot.

    What about DOS, hehe?
    Seriously, what about Linux?
    I cant believe anyone would even care about a pre NT Microsoft OS.

    XP was the best system for my family in terms of ease of use, reliability and stability. Wouldn't let my family near Vista for now because of the number of little issues that regularly crop up. Maybe about a year down the line.

    Windows Melonium, or Windows Me for short. It's my favourite OS because when a BSOD occurs i can ask my parents to buy me better hardware. :p

    XP Before. Vista now (came with my new toy :D). The more I'm using vista, the more I'm at ease with using it and the more productive. Few hotfixes are now in the line. I got approximately 20 plus. And I'm quite satisfied with the fast peformance.

    XP now, maybe later with Vista. Ubuntu is tempting.
