That pretty much explains my usage, except I'm on Fedora Linux because I was exposed to Red Hat ages ago. Operating Systems are quite generic but I find that the Open Source/UNIX environment suits my needs best in terms of productivity. I don't think there can ever be an "ideal" desktop OS, since OSes have to be generic (it's very hard to make them tailorable without trading off user-friendliness).
I never felt quite at home with OS X but I do see the fantastic out-of-the box attraction. The Windows 7 hype is frustrating, Windows should have had features like HomeGroup introduced ages ago. I'm not anti-MS, since I play around with .NET as a hobby and regularly use Vista.
