I LOVED OS/2 Warp back in the day.
I install a copy of Windows, and a few months later I find myself feeling like wiping the HD clean and installing something else on it again. Perhaps Linux and XP both? Or 2k Server instead of XP?
It's sick. I know.
Speaking of OSs...which would you rather run - Windows 2000 Server, or XP Pro?

Personally, I used to run Win2kServer, but when XP came out and it was stable, I started using that. I perfer it over 2k now with the exception of IIS only allowing 1 website and only 2 concurrent connections.
I've run pretty much every version of windows since 3.1, so seeing where windows is today is nice, but annoying with all the viruses/holes.
As for other distros, I usually have 1 or 2 linux distros installed at once for when I'm bored. Except for those times when I'm not paying attention, and reading the help docs to closely and I do a mke2fs /dev/hda1 which is what the manual said, but happened to be my XP partition
That was a sad day.
