Windows7 on a decent machine has treated me pretty well these last 7 months or so. On it, the Boot drive is an 80gb SSD, which has the OS and principal apps on. It's barely half full.
A work machine for the design industry, in my opinion, shouldn't be partitioning drives. Redundancy and high high overheads are key, regardless of platform.
As for viruses, I think I've only ever had two on the PC - once on an a machine I inherited from a (..n obviously incompetent) tech company (WinXp on a 256mb box, happy days) and another from a dodgy warez site last year on my XP laptop. I panicked, but it was easily resolved.
I DO NOT believe Macs are significantly more stable, given the amount of problems I have to help the (admittedly noobish) mac users here with and the reports I hear on the net (tbf, mostly involving Adobe software..).
