Win NT3.x (badly), NT4, 2000, XP Pro, Vista. Probably most Linux
varieties, including Ubuntu.

Windows XP Home uses multicore CPUs probably as well as any other
operating system.

How your programs are written has something to do with it.

Linux has supported multiple processors since the 2.0 SMP kernel was
released 12 years ago in June 1996. Windows had to play catch-up as
NT4, the first Windows SMP kernel, was released to the public in August
1996.
