While I'm almost completely anti-Windows (7 seems to be the exception, but I've never used it to say for sure), I love Ubuntu with a passion. I dual-boot it with Mac OS X.

If Ubuntu supported multi-touch gestures for my trackpad (which I use for switching windows most of the time) I'd use it almost exclusively.

By the way, have you seen Ubuntu's redesign and rebranding for the upcoming version? Beautiful! Really excited for that. It gets better and better with each release.

Good list, though I don’t use mac personally. I dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows.

I was in the same boat. Spreadsheets lasted me two weeks and after that I just ignored everything. At least Outright makes it manageable.

You make a good point about the price of antivirus, etc. I'd never thought about that before. The issue for me was always that however much the hardware would cost, you couldn't buy Mac OS X for a non-Apple computer and Mac OS X is what makes all the difference.

You can get pretty damn close with Ubuntu, though. In fact, if I had to switch to Ubuntu I wouldn't mind it. The only difference is that it lacks the little bit of polish that makes OSX so great, but they improve that more and more each year.

So, I'm much worse than a Mac fanboy. I'm a Mac/Unix fanboy. Ha.
