I use Windows XP, Debian Linux (Lenny), Mac OS X. Of those three, debian is the best for running a web server by far, OS X is the best for work/internet/music/video/programming and XP is the best games machine.
I'm hoping that Windows 7 actually catches up to OS X in terms of productivity and OS features. Then I'll be able to use windows for more than computer games maybe. Windows just seems 3-4 years behind OS X now, and while Windows 7 is faster (than XP) they are still sticking with registry/old disk formats and still have 5 versions of the operating system.
Edit: if you want to reduce support calls from family, switch them to macs. I still get calls from windows owning family members who get into trouble with viruses, OS slowdown, unable to install something and registry issues, the ones I've converted to mac skip all of those problems.
