How many operating systems?!

A very interesting survey on The Code Project, How many operating systems do you have on your development machine?

Granted, these are developers, but it is interesting to see the number of people who are dual booting. Annoyingly there are no results of what people are using, whether it is dual booting between XP and Vista or whether Linux is sneaking in too.

I actually fall into the triple booting camp with XP, Vista and Ubuntu Linux. It's flexible but was quite tricky to set up so I'm loath to make any changes.

Here are the full results:

Number of OSes Total votes Percentage of total
1 only 1501 64.53%
Dual boot 543 23.34%
3 158 6.79%
4 43 1.85%
5 or more 80 3.44%
