I have OSX and Win7 in front of me everyday (only got two machines at my workstation, unlike Boz:) and I gotta say...still vastly prefer OSX. Yes Windows based machines may give you more bang for buck but it's not like OSX can't do all the shit I need it to. This isn't 1996 where you'd sit waiting for five minutes for Photoshop to start up. There is a such thing as a point of diminishing returns and for most people it makes the performance issue irrelevant.
As far as interface goes, OSX is far and away better in my book. More intuitive to flip between applications. I much prefer the visual icons in the dock to the Windows approach. Also I've always found the file structure Windows attempts to impose on you clunky and annoying. The whole Users > My Documents bullshit.

- ah.. monitors.. I always worked with 3 monitors..so when I upgraded I kept the other 3 on a PC..that's why it feels like 6 computers I guess.Boz
- computers I guess.Boz
- I don't get the 'more intuitive to flip between applications' - 7 has a dock, and alt+tab. How is OSX better?orrinward
