I just recently switched over to the Mac side and love it. By far, the best computer I have ever owned. I am just curious to see what people around here use.

Hey Mark! Have been thinking about going Mac OS10 for the great video editing software, but for now Ive got Windows XP Pro in one and Windows 2000 in another.
 
My wife and I switched to Mac about 3 yrs agao and have never looked back. By far the best computer we've ever owned. We have an iBook G4 and our upgrade to Tiger is in the mail. It came with Panther.

I like Macs better for lots of reasons, but don't have one for only one reason.
My work computer is a laptop and its windows. No problem? Not so. If I need to transfer files to the home computer for whatever reason, I'm worried that I could run into problems with certain files back and forth (not office, just random stuff).
 
Vista Ultimate for me! It gets all the best aftermarket software first and I can get some for free or at great prices.

My home computers:
Macbook - black (Core Duo) Mac OSX 10.4.10
PowerBook 15" (G4) Mac OSX 10.4.10
Powerbook 12" (G4) Mac OSX 10.4.10
iBook 12" (G4) Mac OSX 10.4.10
PC clone (P3) Windows 2000 SP4

Networked via Apple Airport Extreme base station/router.

Work computers:
MS Server 2003/07 environment
Windows 2000 clients

I am waiting until Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard comes out (woohoo, in 9 days!) so I can replace my PC with the new aluminum iMac. I can then just run Windows in it via the Parallels app.
 
Mac

I've made the switch 3 years ago, never looked back adn im glad i did, my only regret is that i wish i've switched along time ago.

i got:
powerbook g4 12"
iMac 20" C2D
macbook white
 
Switching soon.

I'm sick of having to do destuctive reboots every 6 months with this piece of s$%t windows machine. Almost all of my friends are on macs and they have virtually no issues, other than making fun of me. Macs don't come with lots of junk third party software loaded on them, thats nice.
 
I have both ...

Sony VAIO Athlon XP laptop, Windows XP Home
The VAIO is from 2003 and still works fine. I'll eventually replaced it after Microsoft releases Windows Vista Service Pack 2.

Macbook 1.83Ghz Core Duo (it's a year old). Runs fine. I dont like how the exterior can easily get scratch. It's like a bigger & heavier iPod.

Personally I consider Cheetah, Puma, Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, and Leopard as Apple's spin on Microsofts Service Pack series.

Windows and Linux for me.

I second that. I run a partitioned box and can't be happier. Not to be rude but PC's are for people who know what they are doing and don't mind the tinkering. Mac's are for people who want "plug and play".

What favors are you running? I have Windows XP x64, SUSE and Ubuntu on one machine. On my other machine Windows Server 2003 for my MCSE upgrade tests. I used to run Mepis back in the day. Linux will break or make your day sometimes, but it is fun.

Favors?? I run a simple Linux (RedHat)/XP setup - nothing like SUSE. I also run a Server 2003 box here at work for internal data storage/retrieval. Please tell me you don't use Novell on the SUSE side. I hate Novell - almost as much as Lotus or Oracle...

Opps should have been flavors not favors. No Novell, we run Red Hat at work. We also have Oracle and with you on that wagon I hate it. I have never dealt with Novell other then using SUSE.

I could edit this poll, but I am not sure if that will mess up the results.
