OSX has definitely won me over. My background is primarily in Linux. About 5 or 6 years of exclusive Linux use on my personal machines. Most of my needs are mostly online or a terminal window so I can adapt to new platforms pretty quickly. I don't really care what OS I use for the most part. Linux lost me on good power management support. I really need to be able to sleep a machine and have it wake-up quickly and properly 99% of the time. OSX is the only OS out there today I've found can do that reliability. The system is back up with networking in the time it takes to open the lid and put your hands on the keyboard. I still run a Linux VM though because macports & fink are not all that fantastic. I still want the safety of a familiar Linux environment from time to time.
