Mostly Windows, for work compatabilty and gaming at home. I've wondered into Linix a few times, and occasional forays in Unix when work demands it. I used Macs quite a bit for writing up process documentation in the early 1990s before the employer standardized on Windows for us manufacturing types and use on the production floor.

I would have liked to see an option for Linux as well. I primarily use windows but I have a few machines all running different OS. I use xp, win 7, Xununtu, and Open Suse all on different machines. I don't discriminate the only one I refuse to get is a Mac. Far too over priced and not as easy to upgrade. I enjoy tearing my computers apart far too much to change stuff around. As for mobile OS I currently use android on my phone and iOS on my iPad.

If you are mac or window user then for browsing the web, use always mac browser, because it is fully protected for the mac users. You can stay protected from mac.

Yes Macs have quite good hardware that is until you drop them, sit on them, burn them or spill water on them. I see a lot of people running around with macbooks with huge dents. That's the reason I go after thinkpads, I drop those laptops countless times and did some computing in the rain and they still work... Same price tag as Macs but better survival.
I wish they made macs with track points and shock/water reistant.

I've never owned, and don't plan to get, a Mac laptop. So the likelihood of dropping, sitting on, burning, or spilling water on my trusty iMac is exceptionally low.

I use tools that Mac can't run or support so I am tied to Windows.

All macs here. iMac27 i5, iMac 20 dc2.0, and macbookpro dc2.2.

I use both but only because my job has a website I have to access through with Netscape or IE and since I refuse to sully my Mac with a Windows Bootcamp or Parallels, I keep an aging XP machine alive via duct tape and witchcraft for that sole purpose.

Good point but I still like to do my computing on a bed or toilet seat....

Mac at home (although I very occasionally try to convince my old laptop running Windows into life for work purposes), and Windows at work. I far prefer the Mac

That's why we switched from the prettier looking Sony Vaios at work to Thinkpads - we've only had one broken so far - and that was used by someone who has broken every portable device he's been issued with

At this point, I'm still a windows user. However, given how impressed I am with Apple products, I can definitely see myself with a Mac some day.
