One reason would be the safety of heterogeneity.

And another reason is just this; I want to be able to join in easily on webcasts, webinars, and perhaps even certain accounting packages, graphics packages, and the like. Even something like watching movies on demand from Netflix. Supported on OSX and MSWindows. > Even in that case, you do not need to make OSX your primary OS...IMO. And I never would, though I would dedicate a machine to either. I've gotten all the information I need, and I now declare my participation in this thread closed. Thanks, all.
