I am a vocal Mac user, but due to a couple of technicalities, I get to play too. I was a windows tech for years, and I boot Windows in VirtualPC to check various things and run AdultSubmitter. So there.

Anyhow, my answer is Windows98. If I have to use a MS operating system (bleh) I want it to be as simple and stable as possible. 95 is more simple, but less useful, so I go with 98.

Has anyone else noticed that MS operating systems generally get *less* stable as you go? When 98 came out, people stuck with 95 for years because of stability. When 2000 came out, people stuck with 98 for a while. Now that XP is out, people are sticking with 2000. Has anyone noticed the pattern yet? Each generation is a worse OS, but eventually you have to upgrade to stay compatible... So the least-sucky place to be is the previous generation. Nice work, Redmond.

Me, I upgrade (usually free) everty two months when there is a new revision of OS X. Nice stuff. Can't wait for my copy of Jaguar to arrive...
