As a Multi-OS user, I know whereof you speak. The Mac community is notorious for excess cheerleading at times. I switch back and forth between three different OS's (Mac, W2K, Solaris) on a daily basis. Each has its particular strengths. To boldly claim that a single OS is better in all aspects is ludicrous. Having said that, I only use W2K grudgingly :)
