Hi,

I used on six machines for chess:

1x Ubuntu (for some tests)
4x Windows XP Prof. w32

On the Ubuntu machine as second OS: Windows XP Prof x64 edition
On my Notebook: Vista Ultimate x64 edition

On an seventh machine Windows 7 Prof. x64, no chess software installed so far.

Best
Frank

I still use Windows XP. My position on the learning curve means that I have a long way to go before choice of operating system becomes any kind of a hindrance.

At such time as I can get my head wrapped around bitboards, then a 64 bit operating system seems logical.

I use all of them beside other but most of the time I'm either running Mac OS-X or XP (32-bit).
