    Just curious. I have used both Os's and TBH they don't make a big difference , except for the fact that Windows has an awesome collection of Open source software. So whacha think bout Windows 7 ?

    Windows hardly has any OSS (open source software), compared to Mac. The base system (unix, x windows) are all open source on mac, as well as much of the other components, whereas windows is proprietary. In my opinion, mac is a far more stable platform.

    XP is still king. I use triple boot: OSX, XP and 7.

    I'm very satisfied in Windows 7. I've been using it from the first version of Release Candidate to present with no problems at all. It's good looking, easy to use and it just works. I've also used Mac OS X a lot (work), and I can see no good reason why would OS X be better than Win7. I'll buy Mac soon, but it's sure that I'm going to install Win7 on it.
