    Ok thank you for modyfing the poll. I wasn't sure how to do it. I have to say that it is quite interesting so far.... We have more windows iPad users than Mac users.

    Well, at home I run Win7 on a MacPro, and on a Sony laptop. I also run OSX on another MacPro, and on a MacBook Pro. For work I run Win7 on a laptop, XP on a desktop, and am frequently logged in to Linux, Solaris, AIX and HP/ux boxen.

    I voted both :-)

    I've been a Windows user for 15 yrs. I did mess around a little with Linux before it got so comlpicated but never owned an Apple device till my iPad. Not an iPhone, iPod, Mac, nothing. Macs seem different in that Apple is real controlling compared to Windows machines. But I suppose there's ways around that.

    I have been a PC user since the Apple IIe. I bought the Macbook Pro because at the time it was the most powerful laptop. I run a CAD package that needs the power. I initially partitioned the Macpro to a minimum Mac and maximum Windows. I installed Vista and eventually gave up and went back to XP. In the process I re-formatted the drive to be half Mac and half Windows. I use the Mac side for iTunes and all photos and videos and the Windows side for everything else. I have to admit that being a PC user for all these years I do not find the Mac very intuitive especially in file organization.

    That would probably be it but what has started the conversion process for me started with the iPhone. I was an avid Palm user but after waiting for the Palm Pre and being disappointed I broke down and bought an iPhone. I was very impressed with the sophistication of the UI. Apple really had something. The can find iPad is just a continuation of Apple choosing to develop a new way for people to interface with their devices. Hey, I'm now an Apple convert! I'm still stuck with the Windows side for business especially because my CAD package will never run on the MAC side. Slowly, I'm replacing PC programs with programs from Apple. I would give up MS Office if Apple ported iWorks. I actually think Apple would do well since it would allow people to go back and forth from the iPad. iWorks is just enough without all the baggage that I never use anyway with MS Office. Apple may found a way to break Microsoft's strangled-hold although I think Apple is after bigger game. They may have found the solution for the central home communication system. Apple TV, iPad and iPhone all using iOS.

    Right now, I'm an iPad user. My one year old Hp laptop fried two weeks ago and I'm pondering the switch to a 27" iMac... Hmmm!

    Both Windoand Mac user here.

    Macbook and Ipad for me and the baby.
    Windows laptops through the house for wife and guests and windows at work.

    Maintaining both ops is a pain in the derriere sometimes, thinking bout going full mac, if only the wife could be convinced.

    Windows for 90%.
    iPad for 10%

    At my age it can be difficult to understand what others regard as simple!
