What Operating System do you use? Mac OS X, Windows, GNU/Linux, or UNIX BSD?

Just curious.

Update:

Mac OS X is UNIX-Based, not UNIX.

    Linux.

    Also, UNIX and BSD are different things.

    Mac OS X is Unix :-)

    Linux and BSD are unix-like but are not actually unix...

    anyways, I use currently Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7 (pre-release), as well as Windows 7 (occasionally), Linux Mint 10, and have been playing with Ubuntu Linux 11.04.

    I have Windows XP and Windows 7 machines, and two Linux (Ubuntu 14.04 distro) systems. My wife and I have an unbreakable rule to NEVER own any Apple product!
