Over the past week I've been borrowing a MacBook from work to learn a little about the Mac OS and I can honestly say I don't get it. Everyone I've talked to that uses a Mac loves it. For my money Windows 7 is the best OS going followed by Ubuntu and Mac behind that.

I wanted to put up a poll to see what everyone else is using and thinks about the different operating systems.
 
I have available. XP Pro, Windows 7, Ubuntu and Debian...

Windows 7 for most the media and games. XP just god forbid something goes horribly wrong, Debain for server side applications and Ubuntu for the nerdy things.

My main computer (Macbook) has Snow Leopard and I think it's fine. I also have a desktop that I dual boot Ubuntu and Windows XP Pro with. I'm not a rabid supporter of any OS, I like them all for certain tasks. It's possible to be neutral instead of a raging Mac or Windows fanboy. I will fist fight over South Park vs Family Guy though. Priorities, I haz 'em.

I have a MacBook Pro with OSX (Leopard) and Vista Home Premium as coexistent operating systems. I generally see little to recommend OSX over Vista, personally. It's nice to be able to run both concurrently (using Parallels v5.0), however. Chrome running on OSX is pretty slick.

Plug and play is painless on Vista. On OSX it's basically fictional.

Vista. It's what my laptop came with. I was worried about changing after hearing so much bitching about it, but it's been nothing but stable for me and it does everything I need it to do. Turn off all those pesky warnings and stuff and it's fine.

At work I'm still on XP.

Vista both at home and work. My home version was fine for the first year or so, but over the last year its been really flakey, and at times, flat out unstable. I may have to upgrade to Windows 7 with all the positive things I've heard about it.
