What about other operating systems? There's a lot of people 'round here that'll probably prefer a *nix distribution...

Oh, and Apple was the first company to coin the term PC. Now that their hardware is basically the same as an "IBM-compatible" PC, you might consider revising your terms :p

I refuse to vote because I like most operating systems. I happen to use Macs the most, but I like Linux quite a bit, and I often use Windows. They're all decent operating systems, and I'm not about to say that Mac OS X is the "best" operating system out there.

In fact, I'd prefer to do my development on a PC (Windows) rather than Mac OS X. For some reason, I prefer Visual Studio to Xcode or any of the many-available Linux development IDEs. Sorry, I just do. But I'd rather do my media stuff on OS X, of course.

And of course Linux for anything low-level, such as my webserver...

Don't you know? It's been the problem ever since the beginning. Apple kept their OS limited to their machines, which although created a nice combination, limited the number of machines running MacOS. Meanwhile IBM allowed any company to clone their machines, and while IBM hasn't created an x86 processor in a long time, the decision to allow cloning is what has given Microsoft such a significant market share chunk.
