Which OS do you work primarily on ?

I've been using Windows for so long currently running window 8 on my desktop. I think windows is better to develop on than linux. What do you guys think about the war between linux and windows ?

Windows for 95% of my development. We do work on an iOS app, so I will occasionally jump in to help on that if there is time.

Which OS do I develop most on? None/all. I used to program exclusively for Windows (C#, C++, Java, Windows XP is my favourite OS) but now I use primarily PHP and JavaScript precisely so I can target more platforms. The development of HTML 5 prompted my switch.

iOS developers often use Windows machines with virtual Mac OS X guests
This. I write Windows LOB software during the day, but when I don my cape and cowl at night I run OS X through VMWare on my Windows laptop. It was a gigantic pain in the rear end to get working and I wish that Apple better supported iOS developers developing in Windows. *sigh*

Mostly I've been in Window shops (XP, in particular). Now, however, they have me doing web development . . . . . . so I'm not really working on any platform. Fortunately, we've finally got the place to drop IE and take up FireFox as the standard browser. Important since they don't have to pay to upgrade hundreds of systems in order to for all to have a reasonably compliant browser. The server farm is, so far as I know, all Windows server, if that means anything.

After Windows 7 OS corrupted itself I did Acer's factory reset and for an hour, all was well. After that, the new Win7 started setup on every boot after that, even after it was complete the first time. Then, everytime I booted "Please wait while setup prepares your computer for first use", next it would throw an error - "Windows can't finish setup" - so I had to restart the computer. Booting into safe mode would not work either. I finally made a Fedora 21 LiveUSB and put Fedora 21 on my laptop. It works like a charm, the FPS on games doubled, and it runs better than Windows. It's not paranoid if they really are out to get you.
