I am well-acquainted with both systems and also with Linux.

I use and run a large system of PCs (because in business we more or less are forced to) that work with virtual Windows machines inside a Linux server environment.

At home, I much prefer the infinitely better, more intuitive and hassel-free working environment of the Mac. Mac OS X and its updates are essentially built using Unix/Linux principles.

A large percentage of professional musicians and artists use Macs for their ease of use in those applications.
