    I voted PC in the poll, but want a Zonbu. XP and Vista here begrudgingly.
    Left all my other OS's when I retired from my old job & miss all the fun responding to security vulnerabilities, um, NOT.

    Windows Vista on an Acer Extensa 620 17" laptop. Love it. Only thing that got annoying were those "windows needs your permission" thigns. but you can easily disable those.

    I have had a Powerbook for 3 yrs now and still love it, I wouldn't trade this old mac for the best new PC.

    I will be upgrading to the new 17 in Macbook pro when they are released after macworld.

    and adobe for mac and adobe for pc may be the same adobe but different programs and act differently, bottom line a mac is easier to use and more dependable. I run the full CS3 on my PB w/ 10.5.5 (btw the update just released) w/ 2gb of ram no problem. Cant wait for the new 3.0 ghz 17 in macbook, fast.

    A mac is just like a tacoma, top of the class.

    For those of you that are disappointed with Vista... I'm running the Windows 7 Beta, and it's a massive improvment over Vista. I think it's safe to say that it's best OS that Microsoft has ever put out. It's too bad they didn't hold off on Vista, because they're going to wind up losing a lot of people over it. So if you can't afford a Mac, but are stuck with Vista, do yourself a favor and upgrade to Windows 7 when it comes out later this year.

    I voted for MAC because my 17"Powerbook G4 is the only computer in my life that matters. We also have a Powermac g4 and two windows boxes. The Powermac i rescued from one of our computer recycling jobs, put some memory in it and fired it up. Runs like a top. Not bad considering I am $70 in to it. I am looking to get windows out of my house ASAP.
