Windows 7 64bit. Tempted to 'upgrade' to Windows 8 but I hate the metro / tablet-based style.
Never "upgrade" to a beta OS. Dual Boot at minimum so your computer will still be bootable when shit hits the fan.

I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit as well as a dual boot with 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10 (though I wish AMD would get off their asses with the GNOME 3 support for dual screens). If I just want to quickly browse the internet or just cba waiting for Windows to come up Linux is a welcome alternative. I also love the GNOME 3 interface I have installed on it with the lovely Docky for some real window management (I'm all for being minimalist but I need SOME form of quick window switching.)

Windows 7, though I'd like to try Mac OSX for a change to see if I like it because bitching about it without having used it is kinda bullshit in my opinion.

Yeah, I was thinking of doing a gradual upgrade (dual boot until main release then switch over completely). Reason I put upgrade in ''s is because to me it seems like more of a downgrade at the moment. :P

So... What happened to both PC and Mac options?
I own several computers, which run: Windows 7 HP 32-bit, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, WinXP Prof., Max OS X Leopard, Windows Server 2008, Linux, Windows 2000, and Windows 95.
I don't necessarily use all of them, most of the latter ones are relegated to the corner of the house or the drawer.

Eh.. Kinda limited options.. OS X for most of the time, but I have WinXP via Parallels and Win7 via Bootcamp. Also I use a Linux distro and WinXP on my other computer (mainly for older games and stuff that don't work with Windows 7).

Win7 64 bit and Ubuntu. Thinking about OS's brings me back to when I was 17 or so and spent pretty much all night working through all the bugs in XP. I know XP was buggy but you haven't seen buggy until you try to work with a Russian version of software written for English. Ugh. Those character sets made me realize something- if I had a Ruble for every time I BSOD, I would be rich enough to buy Microsoft.

For computers - Windows 7 64bit. I don't really like Mac OS X actually, it looks quite complicated to me and I don't do much programming/whatnot. Besides, iLife can be used on iPad.

Mobile device - I prefer iOS due to its simple UI. I also use my iPhone/iPad in certain school occasions and found it very useful. I'm also an Android user and I really like ICS. I don't like Windows Mobile at all - I had a horrifying experience with it and I doubt I'll use it again anytime soon.

I believe you should add a 'both' option.
