I don’t really care much about open source, all I care about is good software
If open source versions r good then I use them, but if the commercial ones r better then I use those, I mean who uses openoffice or GIMP for professional work.
My second favorite operating system after mac os x is open source though, and that is OPENSUSE
I use mostly open-source software. The only closed-source software I can think of that’s installed on my system is virtualbox and adobe flash player
Edit:

Not 100% open-
I use as much as I can depending upon the machine. Got 3 Xp machines, and much as I promote open office, it just doesn’t have the polish and muscle of MSOffice, any variation. The one thing I would luv to see in the OPSource arena, is a world class picture viewing proggie. When I insert a DVD with a TON of pics on it, I do NOT want to import em. I use as much as I can, but take Adobe for example. Who has a reader that can compete with it? None I’ve seen. But the prob with using it, id well- you know. GoOpenSource! Oh! SOme of the audio tools I’ve been playing with are great!
I use Firefox because it seems faster than IE. I also have a copy of Kubuntu Linux installed. However, I do not like OpenOffice.org. Microsoft Office is much better.
On Linux partitions — of course everything other than drivers are open source. On windows partitions only firefox and open office are open source ( rest of them are freeware but non-open source).
I use Applications like GIMP OpenOffice VLC
Can’t possibly use all opensource because i need drivers
I agree as long as the software is good and free spyware free i will use it regardless of opensource or not
open source programs are not as good as the real thing, they are knock-offs. They are good if you dont have the money and need the program right away for something. But in this case there are also trial versions of these programs. I strongly reccomend Microsot Office 2007, IE7, and Windows XP Home SP2.

I use all open source software because if you dont like it you are free to change it.

I use Firefox & Open Office (Open Office is free and nearly as good as Microsoft office, Firefox is much better then Internet Explorer)
