Windows 7. In my opinion, an improvement from XP (I've never tried Vista).

Paying?! Don't be ridiculous! We're in Eastern Europe and don't you forget it!

Windows XP, Service Pack 3. I even do it to update itself without being caught by Billy
Have Ubuntu installed just in case.
Think to try the new Windows 7, however too lazy to reinstall most of the stuff again.

Paying for antiviral tools, for resolving numerous troubles with win and so on, for extra Internet traffic and spending extra time to find out essentian soft full of trojans. I mean not only OS cost but also total cost of ownership.
PS: I didn't mean OS holywar

Windows 7 automatically installs (most of) your drivers. One of the reasons I like it.

Linux does better in most cases

Yeah, as well as XP or at least they claim so. Better don't trust that
Drivers are my least problem. I use lots of programs, Office packets, codex, Bulgarian Phonetic settings, multiple accounts settings, my mother to whom I must show, etc + I always adjust OS appearance according to my taste. This takes time and you always forgot to install something.
