I've got a bit of everything at work ... FreeBSD (which shares a lot with OSX), Linux, Solaris, Windows, Mac.

That said, Windows most of the time for me. Mac is great if you want an easy experience out of the box, most things just work right. But I find it a bitch to tweak to get it where I want it. By contrast, Windows is bloated and frustrating out of the box, but you can tweak it exactly the way you want it, which works for me.

Btw, two Mac repairs last week for friends. Don't tell me they don't have problems ... they're just harder to fix when the fit hits the shan. (Fun stuff trying to take one of those one piece iMacs apart to replace a hard drive ...)

Anyway, at the end of the day it doesn't matter what you're using so long as you can get your work done. S'all just tools of varying shades.

Right now it's on a Dell laptop. Come tax time I'll be getting an iMac or a Mac laptop.

15" macbook pro here... I've had the computer for just over a year. I'm glad I made the switch. I've had zero problems with it. I got applecare so my mind would be at ease just incase... never had to call them or go into the store for a repair.

13" MacBook running snow leopard... thing is 3yrs old, due for a replacement when i can afford it. It still handles running a lot of tracks and audio fx in Logic though, so I can't complain.

Mac here... except I have a severe virus problem on my Mac... had to install Windows using VM Fusion for a work application. Funny thing is the Mac runs PC better then a PC... haha

Ha, that's the truth, I've seen various benchmarks that prove just that...

Not to add fuel to the soon to be conflagration in this thread... :D :cool:

I'm fortunate enough to have the best of both worlds.

I have my 20" iMac for recording and more project/work related stuff, and a Windows Laptop for sitting on the couch or bed and being a vegetable.

I Love both Operating Systems, and understand that they are catered towards different things. I'm not picking sides!

XP at work
Vista at home

UBUNTU 9.04 in between (on an EEEPC 701 : I carry it everywhere and it's great !)

and I code with Qt so it works for Mac, Windows and Linux !
