There are three alternatives, actually: Windows, Mac and free software desktops such as BSD, Linux or OpenSolaris.
All of these have the security, stability and clean, pretty design of Mac OS X with program choice and hardware compatibility of Windows and a zero price tag.
They can be customised to have any combination of looks or controls you want, eliminating the usability issues of switching from one or the other.
Ubuntu. Linux for human beings.
If you are interested in trying Ubuntu or Linux in general, PM me and I will answer your questions and help you install it if you wish.
