Vista, XP, MAC, Linux????? What to do?

So Microsoft is going to pull XP off the shelves very soon. I am just curious as to what everyone’s impression or experience with different operating systems. I personally find Vista to be annoying with all it’s security checks and the long wait between boot up and working….plus the freezing up between windows…

Let’s just say you have the computer of your dreams…you have plenty of resources to run what ever you want 10 fold….what would you pick and why?

Come on guys…post some thoughts…lets start a conversation!
