I've been using Windows 7 on and off. It's largely OK, but not great. Cygwin is awful, the open-source community is nascent (at best!), the development tools are a OK, but semi-free (VS Studio Express is free, but if you need more, Visual Studio is expensive). Integration with tools like git and svn are only through 3rd party solutions, and aren't as polished as one would like. I could get by with it, but I would prefer not to. However, I'm also not particularly happy with the idea of going back to Linux, and my work still requires a Mac. Thus, stuck on Mac OS X.
