I voted for Mac, but my employer makes me have to use windows, so I do use both. I have to state it is against my will however. If I had my way I'd use nothing but Mac.

Me too. I believe most work places you have to use windows unless you are in a graphics / creative area!!

I have to use BOTH. So many emails have word or excel attachments and storing on pages or numbers changes so much formatting as fonts are different. This prevents sending official formal letters/documents.
Apple OS is still without flash which is limiting on the Internet. I have to ave both operating systems so that I can cover all eventualities neither is easier to use it's just a case of habit. Why this Apple - Windows war!! Is it a marketing thing to make money? Someone please explain.

Regards

My understanding is that the Mac IOS doesn't have flash, but that's not an issue with Mac OSX. I use Word and Excel files on my Mac all the time without issues. Email attachments are not a problem coming from Windows users.

Just a clarification, there is no such thing as Mac iOS.... iOS does not run on the Macintosh.

I use both Mac OS X 10.6.8 & Windows XP Pro. I also use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Each OS has specific tasks that the others can not or do not handle well
