I wish I had the G's to drop on that.

I personally use a macbook pro for most of my work currently, I am very familiar however with Linux use. I've found OS X to be a pleasant experience on the whole. I enjoy very much the level of integration between the mac hardware to the software, it feels like a more complete product in the end to me, also the unix compatibility and utilities make it an excellent choice for getting work done. Its like having a Linux box except I actually have native compatibility with various evil proprietary software and various hardwares when I want it or need it, not that this is a drawback for Linux, I dont expect it to run anything not intended for it, but it presents a problem to me now and again.

I would choose Mac OS X because it's Unix-based and it maintains itself. I don't care how fast/bug-free/secure Windows 7 is compared to Windows XP/Vista. It is still Windows, and its glory ends when you stop comparing it to other Windows. 7 is just Windows arriving at the point that most Unix systems have already been at for 10 years. The people who say it's good are the people who have only used MS software. I don't care how good it is compared to XP. It has a crappy command line and you can't do $hit with it, so it doesn't appeal to my geeky side.

Quite possibly the only thing more obnoxious than Apple's official advertising.

Apple's advertising isn't obnoxious! That video is, but then, it's a parody, why so serious?

I agree, that after the sickness known as "Vista", Windows does seem to have made somewhat of a recovery. However, it is now officially at seven... and that seventh age...

I prefer OSX, I do a lot of ssh to linux systems and a lot of unix-system-development, and I really like being able to use all of my favorite development tools, pretty much right out of the box. If I didn't have access to OSX, I'd chose debian, vector, red-hat, or ubuntu though.
