What OS does your netbook run?

[UPDATE: Added Windows 7 on the poll.]

Since I got my first netbook which is an Asus Eee PC 701 in 2007, I have had tried different operating systems already like Ubuntu EEE (Easy Peasy), Tiger, Puppy, Mandriva, and many more. Xandros, which comes by default with the Eee PC 701 is one of the most user-friendly distributions, though there are a number of drawbacks with that OS before. I’ve liked every Linux OS I’ve installed but after a while I realized that since I require IE for specific applications I support, I decided to stick with Windows XP.

    You forgot Windows 7 – the most important OS update for years! RC1 is freely available and many of us have it on our netbooks snow!
