I prefer Windows for gaming, programming, and experimenting with web design and Linux for any general use.
 
Depends :)

I'm more of a Windows person, but have to use Linux if I am using VMware as the underlying infrastructure is ESXi.

I also prefer my websites to run on Apache
 
I would say linux for programming and windows for gaming, surfing, general use..

Agree completely here. All my C/C++ programming thus far has been on a Linux box. Windows libraries are very, very nasty to deal with in C++.

Out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on the package managers in Linux? Do you think they do an adequate job of cross-platform software compatibility?
 
I have heard that Linux is best for web hosting but I am just not at all familiar with it and my basic lack of intrigue into the whole things just means that I stick with Windows. Maybe someday when I have the time I will look more into using Linux but for now my needs are met so I cannot complain. i guess maybe it is just easier to stick to what you know.
