Windows 7, 64 bit. Came with the computer and considering I had Vista before I am very happy with it.

Windows XP SP3 Pro, custom themed, 32-bit, only computer.
I had Sabayon a while back but never really used it. Same goes for Ubuntu. They were both horribly outdated, anyway.

My gaming PC is currently running Windows XP, it's yet to fail me or ruin a gaming experience, unlike my soundcard...

64-bit XP on the primary desktop, 32-bit XP on the primary laptop, Windows 2000 on the ancient tiny laptop. Linux on a second desktop.
I used to hate XP, but it grew on me after I got a job and had to use it every day. I figured out how to fix the things that annoyed me about it. I used to have a Vista laptop, even used it for a few months before I sold it to a friend to partially pay for a new laptop, which also had Vista (64 this time). I hated Vista though and replaced it with XP as soon as I got it.
I also tried Windows 7 on my laptop and desktop and wasn't impressed (no real benefit and much more annoying), and went back to XP. I intend to try Windows 8.
Basically XP is just what works for me.

Windows 7 64bit Ultimate on my desktop for PC gaming and general use.
Windows 7 Home Premium on the netbook.
Ubuntu for programming at uni and on a virtual machine (VirtualBox) on my Win7 desktop for when I do uni work at home.
Linux Mint on another VM for when I feel like using Linux at home for some sort of reason apart from programming.
Android on the phone.
Windows 2000 (once in the past few weeks), Windows XP, Windows 7 Professional, Ubuntu, ESXi and FreeNAS at work. I work as an IT assistant part time so I am often working on two or three machines at once as I clean them up/install stuff/manage the IT assets/move files around the server.
Had a play around with the Windows 8 Developer Preview the other day.
The plan for sometime next year when I upgrade my gaming desktop is to use the replaced parts as an ESXi VM server that can have Ubuntu or Linux Mint for programming; another undecided Linux build so I can try hosting a Diaspora Pod and have my Minecraft Server going 24/7; Linux Mint again for general use so I can keep my gaming desktop clean; FreeNAS for data storage, backups and torrents; maybe Windows Home Server.
I would like to have Win7 on there as well as a multiboot with ESXi but I don't think that will be possible. I will have it there somewhere so I can use the machine as a second game box if I need to.
