This poll is faulty. I have machines for several OSes and I use them for different reasons. I have five computers in my office: two iMacs, one purchased in 2008, another in June of this year, a MacBook from 2008, an HP laptop that has that evil boot sector virus called Windows 8.1, and a 10-inch Samsung tablet computer I bought at Barnes & Noble last year because they were cheaper than Costco at the time. The old iMac and the MacBook dual boot OS X and Ubuntu Linux, the new iMac only OS X, and the tablet computer runs Android. And to make things even more complicated, I have VirtualBox installed on all of these machines except the tablet and I have Windows XP and 2000 images for it. So, what do I run? It depends. But most of the time I'm in Linux except when I'm programming; then I'm in OS X.
Oh, and I have DosBox installed so I can run this one DOS game I love.
It's really quite a simple choice: Life, Death, or Los Angeles.
