Mac ... because there's a completely legal way to run Mac, Windows and Linux on a single platform via VirtualBox. If you're developing web 2.0 applications, you'll be able to test all the common browser varieties. Of course you can purchase a copy of Mac OS X and do the same thing on Linux (my current choice) or Windows. I just can't justify the extra cost of Mac hardware (yes ... it's nice) for a desktop system. For a laptop, I might very well choose a MacBook of some sort.
