I have used them all - MSDOS, Unix (Redhat and others), Amiga (1.0-3.5), BeOS, Windows (3.0-XPPro 64-bit), MacOS, MacOSX, LegOS ;).
I have to agree in many parts with grichter. Some things are just not available on Macs - not worth the developers' efforts to port to such a small user-base. That's not an exemplary reason, but that's their bottom-line (how much is the effort and pain worth the support).
Personally, I find Windows PCs faster, but MacOS more reliable and less 'techie' (one reason why I moved away from Unix systems). Both systems have their pros and cons. With Apple's move to Intel, there is definitely a narrowing gap in performance and cost. Macs are still more expensive, but at least you get a whole package - that works!
OT: that new Apple PC-Mac commercial is hilarious. They are really stomping on Vista of late. 'Mac has issued a salutation. Cancel or Allow?" Precious! ;D
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the
foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg
off.
