you don't even say what you wanna do with it
also, i recomend to not switch to seven until 6 to 12 months, waiting the firts updates
so i would say XP

I think at this time you can trust Vista and XP the most since Win 7 is still in beta and will probably stop working in august, so if you wanna be sure I wouldn't go for Win 7. If your pc can handle it well enough I'd go for Vista. If not, go for XP cuz in that case Vista won't do any good.
Ubuntu is a totally different league.

I prefer XP, Vista is too annoying and slow, 7 is still in it's early days. Ubuntu is a pretty good alternative for your needs but for ease of use I'm still more used to a Windows environment. OSX just lacks decent software.

I voted for Windows XP, it is fast, efficient and isn't filled with unnecessary junk.

I might go with ubuntu cause its nice fast and basic and has all the GFX stuff i use like gimp
and then to windows 7 when its OEM is out

I've been using Vista for the last few months and then Windows 7 for the last couple weeks. My verdict is stick with XP.
Apart from speed there is not enough difference to call 7 a different operating system to Vista. Vista/7 look pretty but are annoyingly slow (even 7 has semi-regular Vista like pauses while it thinks about opening a folder). I choose performance over looks and will be switching back to XP soon.

I use XP but i also have Windows 7. XP is good for a low spec computer. If you have a computer that can manage Vista, then skip straight to 7. If you don't "trust" 7 because it's in beta then go with XP till 7 is out.

Kinda suprised that the mac isn't more than it is. I love Linux though, and i guess i don't really run ubuntu but i guess it covers the linux category

Man, what you really need to do is just get a little partitioning going and install Xp and W7. From there if you want to tri-boot ubuntu, it gets complicated bacause of the overriding of GRUB bootloader, and lots of other shit.

I use Windows XP for now, I'll switch to Windows 7 when it released
