Windows Vista SP2, sorry Windows 6.1, (they also call it Windows 7) is ok for Windows.
I prefer Linux (Karmic Koala is what I'm using right now).
I have an OpenSolaris VM, zfs is great there...
It's always a matter of choice,
You will get Windows Geeks advising how great it is but for features,features, customization, and freedom and ease of use Ubuntu all the way... (We get a new release every 6 months :P apt-get dist-upgrade, or click the button in the update manager if you prefer).
