I voted for Windows for both. Of course, this includes everything from
Windows 98 to Vista (well, Longhorn Beta, technically), minus WinMe,
which I wouldn't load on any machine unless I was about to pummel it
with a Louisville Slugger. ;-)
My main work and home machines both run Windows XP Pro (SP1+ for work,
SP2 for home).
I also have an iMac at work which is used mainly for image layout for
full color press.
