I do not want to become a MAC snob:-) See my previous post to realize this is in jest. By the way I am a PC gaming snob the consoles can not mathc the over all experience.
Gaming is not the only thing i use Windows for and X is not the only thing I use Linux for... Just a couple quick references.
I find this whole argument very funny... I see many people on all sides of this who refuse to use one or the other for the fear that their coolness/geek factor would be lessened because they booted to Windows, or Linux or OpenBSD.
I use each as a tool to achieve a tasking/function/need. I have two machines at my desk 1) WinXP pro 2) Fedora Core 2. Each is used about equally. I use the windows to maintain docs/email/administrative type functions. I use the Linux box for native X connections to remote boxes via ssh and sftp. I also use the built in server capabilities to host data and connections.
Both are merely tools to use. I love PC gaming -- gotta go Windows on that one. I love to work effectively on my unix based systems (Many different releases) -- gotta go to linux for that one.
This, I am better than you because I run Y operating system if just downright funny to me. If you are willing to limit yourself to one or the other then I say more power to ya. I will be the guy with the well rounded background in as many as possible so when a problem shows itself I know which tools to use to correct them.
Ps... This reply was written on a WinXP pro box does that make me a loser/winner/cool/geek. So very confused.:-)
