Tony,
Did you read the story?
You've said that you use photo editing and video software. I use photo
editing and video software for my work. I've used both Mac OS and
Windows for years. Not only does Mac OS X work more transparently than
Windows, Windows in emulation is better on a fast Mac than on a Windows
PC, especially when sharing files between OS's. Almost everything that
needs to be done in Photoshop or video software can be done in fewer
steps and faster on a Mac. Same for most other software, except--no
surprise--MS Office.
Linux also runs on Macs, natively and in emulation, but researchers have
to use the software that's written for their work. Given the choice
between our two Windows notebooks and my MacBook, I'll take the MacBook
any day.
Have you used a Mac recently? Ever? Do you use Vista? It's hideous. I've
"upgraded" to XP Pro, and Mac OS X. Use a Mac. Pocket the extra money
you have from being more productive, and use it for toys and fun. Keep
the PC for video games.

So, to phrase the results correctly, 100% chose Windows, 0% chose
Mac alone, and 86% chose to run Windows on a Mac.
Who cares. I'd be more interested in why none of them can get their
work done on a Linux laptop.

19 of 22 (86%) Users Ask to Keep the Mac. However, when asked if
they would rather keep their MacBook Pro or return to using their
familiar ThinkPad, only three chose the ThinkPad; the rest
decided to keep the Mac laptop and obtain VMWare Fusion licenses
to run Windows when necessary.
