I've got 2 macs (mac book and mac mini). My company issued me a laptop with Windows Vista on it. I've got 2 UMPCs (one installed with Debian Lenny and the other Ubuntu 8.10), they are for experimentations, I wouldn't perform experiments on my primary workstations, because of the hassles if you mess up things.
Anyway, I find my self working most of the time on the Macs and Linux boxes, very seldom on the Windows Box. The only time I open the windows box, is when overseeing projects written on .NET (at work, although, I've got the MONO framework running on the macs as well).
The reason I like the mac, is because of the UNIX capabilities. The beautiful hardware and easy to use Aqua window manager, don't hurt.
Thanks, happy lottin.

I never really warmed up to the mac although I've heard that it's changed since we had to maintain them when I was working in college computer labs ten years ago. I've always used PC's and still prefer those.

hello there...
i haven't try to use mac OS yet because i'm very comfortable with windows platform for my everyday works... i don't know how mac works and how's the system also so i don't think i would change it but if the time permits, i might try mac for few months and see how it works... for now, i'm using windows vista ultimate and i'm really happy with its performances... been using like 5 months... works great with my system...

i think it depends on the user's needs..
if you are new to Computers you better go with a MAC..
if You need special Business Function you go with windows..
if you need to customize everything your OS does go for linux.. also linux has a lot of free softwares..
