Actually I'm a Linux guy first, except on my game machine, my laptop, and my file server (all of which are running WinXP) - I have six machines at home (including the laptop) and none of them are Apples. I considered buying a Mac Mini, borrowed a friend's and couldn't get over the inconsistent key-combos (CTRL X/C/V for cut/copy/paste, and the different meanings assigned to the Home/page up/page down/end keys), the lack of multiple desktops, and the slightly 'off' feeling of the mouse (something wrong with it not accelerating as I moved it across the page, hard to describe but it felt too slow, too linear.)

Crazy thing is that while I am not a Microsoft fanboy, I like Windows as an operating system. I like Linux better for interacting with the outside world (IM / Firefox / office documents type work / database / just dinking around) but I do like and am quite comfortable within Windows.
