Hardcore mac users seem to be this way, there is a women at work who has daily issues with her mac software and she still scoffs at anything windows LOL.
*Edit*
Vista: I played with RC1 of Vista very briefly, it was quite different. While I think change is good and bells and whistles are neat sometimes... I was primarily thinking about the headaches of training all the users at work who are just now getting used to navigating XP. On the flip side of bells and whistles...when I'm at work I don't want that extra crap and I sure as heck don't want to have to spec out more costly machines just to run a bloated OS.
We'll see how it goes, change overs and upgrades...especially in my area of work, won't happen very quickly. Bring on the newer technologies, it will ensure my employment that much longer LOL!

Mac's are very cool! I just installed wine, and installed Degei. Degei messes up when it runs, so I uninstalled it. LOL oh well.

Do you even need to ask this question?

Ah well I'm just a poor soul with Windows XP.
Nothing special for me.

not immediately...but it looks slick. i'll be keeping an eye on it for sure.
Windows XP user...Not too familiar with Linux..and i'm comfortable on a Mac. I don't prefer one platform over another. they've all got pros and cons. I'd rather be comfortable than hard core biased and refuse to touch anything other than what i know :D
Re: What kind of OS do you use?
I run Windows Xp Pro. I haven't had a mac in years, and I've thought about getting one for more media/photo/artwork related stuff, but I haven't done it.
I have used linux, but I'm more of a gamer, and the software I'm more familiar with is Windows based.
I'm not going to switch over to Vista for a very long time. Everything I've heard about vista is that it's basically a bloated version of XP. Also, considering the way that Microsoft OS's tend to be, I want to wait until they've worked out some of the bugs and security issues.
Re: What kind of OS do you use?
I think one of the only things I'm looking forward to with Vista is better support for 64bit.

Vista is already shipping for business...but I see no need to move to it immediately. Changing OS's is a gradual process; not all software manufacturers have solid or any ports to that OS and I personally refuse to use mixed bit support between my OS and chip. Silly silly people who put 64-bit OSs on 32-bit chips or vice-versa...
