I think only you can really answer that tbh. Depends if you use them all, or if you can do the same things you do use them for on the other OS's.

hmmm..

well tag and rename only works in windoze, so I need XP to boot thru parallels in OSX so I can use that, Vista is needed for USB phone use, updating BB, Nokias etc etc and Ubuntu, i only use that to mess around in seeing if I can make the move from OSX to Linux...

Once upon a time, I had even more OSs on my old PC:

Win98 SE
Win2k
Corel Linux
QNX
BeOS 5

It was fun.

Yes, you're a closet geek. Or at least, you were. Why don't you get multiple computers instead, like me? Then you can link them all together and stuff like that which is mucht less geeky.

Oh no, hang on, ermm....s**t....

I got bored with multiple os, but I still run win98se in a virtual machine for a couple of old apps that won't run on XP.
