Just wondered about how many different versions of Windows are still in use.

XP on all machines. You might want to modify the poll, Mitch, as some people will have a range of OS.

I have one Windows XP desktop, and a hardly used Vista laptop.  Oh, and a silly little Eee PC with Ubuntu on it.  I've got a copy of Win7 still sealed in it's box, but I''ll wait until I get a new desktop to put that on.

I once bought a P60 computer from Escom that came with Win95 and OS2/Warp pre-installed.

I can't remember the details of how, but it was possible to accidently get both OSs to try and start at once.

Then the machine had to go back to the store to have a new image written on the hard drive.
