That being said, I have a WinVista box for gaming/regular use, a MacMini for fun, and I usually have some flavor of Linux running in a VM shell. I enjoy them all for a multitude of reasons.

Well as I said, I think that Apple is lesser of an evil than Microsoft is. I never said anything about Apple not stealing any ideas, they're just as guilty as the rest of the companies in this world. Everyone copies everyone, that's the unfortunate truth about it. I can agree that if Microsoft's enterprise systems makes your job easier, it must be much better for you. But I'm just a personal consumer, so I prefer Apple.
I do/did the same thing as you. When I was in high school, I had to have a Winbox, cause of Everquest and the various other games that I
had to play. That's how i got into computer customization and such. Fun stuff to be honest.
Now that I'm in college, I wanted a more stable environment, and went with a Powerbook. I still play DOTA (WC III) on various occasions when I have some time, and while the Powerbook doesn't run it as well as the beautiful Centrino M chip powered winlaptops, it gets me where I need it. I only wish it had better battery life
!! Going to have to get a MacBook pro soon...
Note: what's going on with the editing function on Head-fi? Sometimes I edit my posts, it stays for a bit of time, and the reverts.
