Personally i always seem to have OS identity crisis's and due to my constant installing/reinstalling operating systems.
This is currently what i have multi-booting
Windows XP (Soon to be a fresh LastXP v22 install)
Windows 7 (Untouched)
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Might upgrade early to maverick not sure)
Fedora 13 (Goddard)
Mac OS X (Not fully working yet)
Ultimate Edition 2.7
Puppy Arcade 8
-Might add more im not sure lol
What are you booting?

like you i am always changing my OS but i have been windows free now for a year or so
i have never gotten virtualbox to work in a way that i found OS justifying so i dont Vbox i install to my hard drive which to me is the best way to test a OS make it your only choice and make it work see if you really like driving it.
but now i have been thru every major OS. So i know which i like and which just dont fit me. so i am going to take my 1t hdd and give it a few 100g partions and start dual booting

since certain specific websites still only work with windows for some reason and many games only run on windows I do keep Windows 7, Along with Ubuntu 10.04. Thats all I'm dual-booting  For the rest I boot a ISO in virtualbox from time to time.

I've tried a few major distributions during my Linux learning curve (nearly a year) like Ubuntu, Gentoo, Arch and Debian (in that order) and i think that Debian does all i need to stick with it, however I'm still dual-booting to my Windows XP (made with nLite and I'm quite happy with it - 45mb usage after fresh reinstall, 450mb disk-space) to play some games.
If it comes to choice of Linux distribution my choice will be Gentoo or Debian. Gentoo is good choise for source distribution, Debian is excellent for binary package distribution and you can choose from stable, testing and experimental packages depending on what you need (the newest and the gratest) and what will you do (do some work using OS or try to fix some problems :p).
I've never liked Windows 7 because for me it's nothing more but Windows XP with some useles stuff (IMO) that comes with it but from what I've heard it's good OS for laptops (never had one so i can't comment that).

Honestly, 7 inst too bad. surprisingly. to me, it runs even faster than my xp boots ever did. does multitasking on a 64 bit processor better too. but there is still stuff i can do better and faster on my linux partition.
