I don't want to have to teach my family to use something else. I take care of my ish so no-one gets virus' or spyware and I like being able to walk into any store and buy software/hardware and not worry if it will work or take years to install.
So I always build my PC and buy the Windows OS after his has become service packed and initial bugs and interoperability fixed. Here's to Vista in 2009.
If Mac or Linux became the dominate system, I would happily move. Until then, whatever.

No, two button mice work just fine on Macs.
I've lived with both. I've troubleshot for both.
It's Mac or nothing.
Oh, and current Macs can dual boot windows anyway.
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
I prefer Macs but I'm on Windows XP. My bf has Vista and I fail to see what's new and what makes it so expansive. So it's a big no to me.
Linux is fine for people who write stuff, surf, email... But it's (imo) hard to figure out... I've had much problem trying to install stuff even with instructions and also can't play Sims on it. Dual booting isn't good for my PC either so I just stick to XP.
I've wanted a Mac for a while but I have trouble choosing what I want. XD As for gaming I only play Sims/Sims 2 and emulator games so it's not a problem on Mac at all.
Reason why I prefer Macs: Less frustration, less problems and I just prefer how it works. Also their Mac Mini is so cute and doesn't take up much space, Imacs are all in one goodness and Macbooks are... Macbooks! XD Best Vista laptops. How ironic...
But all I can say is that for the moment I'm happy with my XP computer since it works fine... I wouldn't upgrade to Vista since it's pointless and would suck up all my new added memory and I won't buy a Mac till I'm decided on what I want and have the money to get it.

Yes, they do.
I have a Macbook Pro and I dualboot into XP to play TF2 all the time without issue (no more issues than windows normally generates, anyway).

windows xp and no issues so far. loving my hp desktop. issue with my hp laptop and dell desktop is it uses vista and a lot of older hardware is not compatible due to missing vista driver. used a mac before, and never will use it again.
Currently loving my Wii x2, Xbox 360 Pro & Xbox 360 Arcade, and Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children Limited "Cloud Black" 160GB PS3
GAMEFLY & GOOZEX FTW
Back around a decade ago, whenever I did use macs, they seemed to crash or have issues as much as people claimed to have with 95 and 98. I personally rarely had problems with 98 such as blue screens or crashes, so I guess it just depended. Currently have XP and it still works fine for me. Haven't really tried the last couple of mac OSs, but I also haven't made really any major upgrades to my machine for a few years.

OSX is built from the ground up on unix, a completely different platform for the OS.
It is the most "major" upgrade feasible for any OS.
