I've owned both for many years and I've had about the same performance out of both, I still ain't crazy about either platform. I have more PC's around here right now, but that's because of the software I use, not a machine preference.
Give me a bass, a cord and an amp, high tech as I want to be.

What I use? hmmm..... I mainly use a MacBook. Hopefully be getting my dad's iMac (Power PC version), when/if he gets a new Intel version. My current desktop is a Windows that I built with my dad. I also have a Tablet PC, running Windows, cause there is no other OS I know of that supports the Tablet PC functions.

Yeah this thread is almost as inflammatory as SR vs Sterling, repub vs dem, or rush vs. non- rush, or great taste vs less filling.
But I think at the end of the day we could probably all agree on Mr. Jamerson, in spite of his never using an EB product as far as I know....

I am a PC user.. soley because FL Studio doesn't come in any other variety. I could go MAC hardware because of the new dual-boot functionality, but I just don't know enough about them and unfortunately they are not like bassses where you can go into a shop and get a feel for them. There is external hardware, plugins additional software to be considered.

Well I use WindBlows at home and at work and I'm not impressed. At work we use to be Sun Unix based the whole way and never really had many problems. We switched over to MicroSuck and I've had BSD (Blue Screen of Death), blow away user profiles and registries trashed. Though I'm not your normal user, I tweak, so that could be the cause.
At home I'm using WindBlows SuXP Home, nothing grand, I refuse to pay the $300 per machine to upgrade to Pista, and I've heard nothing, but bad things about it.
Once I feel that MS has forgotten to support a previous version of software (ie. SuXP), then the family is either moving to MAC or Linux, and I think Linux will win out.
Just my $.02 worth.

Yeah, so why pay out the a** for a Mac, when you get that and a bunch of other good shells with Linux for $0 . . . . . and a gui that I like better than any Mac as well . . . .
You would probably laugh . . . my main desktop is . . . . 4 shell windows . . . . . (ksh though . . . ) everything else is pretty much optional!

Looks like you got the "RIM job" too . . . one of these days those idiots will release enough info to let someone develop an interface. I have seen some stuff that is getting close, but nothing that's all there yet . . . .
So, for me, my company uses the Blackberry Enterprise Server, so I run Linux on the desktop, and get all the BB updates wireless . . . .

Don't get me wrong, I like linux too. I just don't want to spend time maintaining the OS. I've found that me and computers don't get along so well. OS X is the first OS that has simply just worked for me in all aspects that I need it.
the IT guys at work really love getting a phone call from me.
If your blackberry has bluetooth, turn it on and to discoverable. Then turn on bluetooth on your Mac (if it has it, which the new ones all have it built in). Then on the Mac, select "Set Up A Bluetooth Device", have it look for "any device". Then pair the two. Then you should be able to go into The Missing Sync and select to have it sync via bluetooth instead of cable.

Right now I'm using OpenSolaris at home. I might switch back to Ubuntu. It's a toss up. I'll probably switch back when the new version of Ubuntu comes out. I currently only use Windows to allow my Xbox 360 through my ancient routers firewall so I can saw Dargin's Spinny's and Neil's beaks in Gears of War
