they can't even get vista off the ground, and before its targeted release next spring, it will probably be renamed a few more times.
im waiting for a google OS

Der ... I think this is an easy one.
Whatever your preference between Windows/Apple is.
Personally for me, it's Windows.
So MS Vista?

I do real work too...I have got access to more than one machine...keep to the subject, nothing to say? dont say nothing.

What I'm saying is, why poll this now? No one is running this shit, unless they are you, so everyone's gonna say Mac, or guess.

wow man, wow.
There really isnt any contest, whatsoever.
Vista has stolen almost all of its new features from OS X, and OS X has had most of them out since the beggining of tiger, which has had 7 updates since.
OS X looks beautiful, never ever crashes (if you have at least a half decent spec'd machine) and it on the off chance that an app locks up, everything else is still running perfectly so force quiting is such an easy fix.
The only possible reason someone could have for prefering windows is if they have never used a decent mac, or if they are a gamer.

someone has it in for me.
Still, best wait for vista to be released before making any judgements one way or another.

I am trying to figure out how OSX marketshare within webdesign community can stay so high with web font issues it has
- browsers have problems displaying characters from outside basic latin charset - weird sizes and weights
- line-heights, font sizes and weights tend to get odd, I mean they look way different on a mac sometimes.
- quartz antialiasing is nice, but try to turn smoothing off and kerning goes wild. It's not only that the system looks better antialiased, but it looks really bad without it. Have you ever seen NT in Safari without font smoothing? That's just crappy. How come it looks good in windows?
The good side of it is probably you can assume people only use it with quartz on.. ;)Don't get me wrong, I am not saying "osx sucks for webdesign" at all, I'm just wondering how they can get away with it. Actually, I hardly notice any complaints from designers/developers.

(Sep 5 06, 07:37)Not sure what slow machines or dodgy hardware or bad OS installations you have been running..
I have owned 2 ibook g4's, a powerbook g4 and an imac g5.
None have ever - ever crashed. Now and again photoshop will lock up for 5-10 seconds if Im running a large programme, but without fail it will revive itself.
So yea... get a decent machine.

since Jan 25 02 i might add, and I've got plenty of work to show thanks.
