the old phrase still holds true
windows - where do you want to go today?
mac - where do you want to go tommorrow?
*nix (linux included) - when are you guys going to catch up?
the only thing linux doesn't have is games, the games it does have it performs better than the windows counterpart

I use Windows for everything I do. I use Macs at school, but I have all the software I use in the labs on my Windows machine and it does just as well.
I know for video editing, Macs are the best, but even if I get into that field, Windows will be my primary OS. I can set it up to my EXACT specification and I never get let down.

If you have ever read any post I have ever made on the subject, you'll remember that I hate windows, and specifically microsoft, with a passion.
However, lets be realistic now. If I want to play games, or have an OS that is compatible with a wide range of software and hardware, I'm going to have to choose windows, I don't lie to myself about it.
Yes linux is faster, more reliable, less costly, and more efficient. Yes mac is better with media. I don't need to host servers, compile massive amounts of data, or make complex media files, so I don't need to use either of them.
I'm a gamer. I play games. That's what I do with my computer. I would be an idiot to use something that hinders my ability to do that. Like use an OS with compatibility issues with games and hardware, like mac, like linux, like vista, like winXP64bit.

You know, I really thought that Windows was gonna be in last...or at best, ahead of linux. Maybe it's the fact that the escapist forums are populated by gamers.
