#42 | Windows
Pros
Good bang for the buck
Endless software
Stable enough
Cons
Infections
If you dont partake in risky files or website....windows is awesome
you will get hit somewhere sometime..count on it....its called windows because it has a big hole in it...JK
Apple.......nice
Expensive
and usually still a need to have windows from time to time.
Conclusion............if have deep pockets go for a mac....it will be a very nice toy.
The real workhorse however is windows.

#43 | Sounds to me like Linux is a nice medium.
All we need now is native linux games.

Of course, the only time I have any need to do that is when I want a flight sim. I can do everything else that I need to do from the Mac OS.
