Wow... thats a big question.

I love my mac I have to say, it was expensive but its reliable and I upgraded the ram so I find photo/movie stuff is easy.

I play games, I don't want a Xbox/play station vista was horrible but its stable now and as I do a lot of stuff on my mac the vista machine I can use to flash mobiles (nokia mobiles keep backups on ect...and as I dont overload it with apps its snappy and boots reasonablely quickly.

Linux, i still a new user but Im steadily getting used to it. Its come a long way, I can remember years ago trying Red hat on a old pentium 3 and not finding drivers for creative sound cards!

In short i use the Mac the most, followed by vista, my XP netbook i only use out and about. Linux on the desktop I not sure I could depend on it for my main PC and I think I need to keep a windows machine for some of the jobs you still cant do on a mac.

i have a G1 mobile and I very impressed with android (linux!) on that although I have the N900 on pre order (err linux to replace the N810) and that may mean the XP laptop may start collecting dust...

In sort I hate to vote for one, I think many articles forget one thing that choice is a personal thing. Use whatever floats your boat, its a pity Macs are so expensive cause if they were not MS would have to start listening (or maybe they are as oSx has made gains). I would happily give my elderlyparents a Vista/Win7/OSX pc /laptop. I not so sure I give them a linux one. They live 300 miles away and are not tech savvy.

Not much help eh?
