Ok, so the ordering of the choices is a bit biased… but can you really blame me? 😜

What about those of us who use multiple OSes?

Not biased. They’re just in alphabetical order. 😊

Good point, since I do use all 3 in my web development.
1) development using Mac OS (my primary OS).
2) hosting on Linux.
3) getting frustrated solving IE-related layout problem on Windows.
4) back to Mac OS to relax.

Hmmm…. that sounds more than a little familiar. Canadian Hive Mind I guess. :D

Hmmm… good point. I guess the question should be which OS do you use primarily?

Where are all these windows users? Show yourselves, I DEMAND IT!
I have stolen my girlfriends macbook for some development work while im stuck on holiday (no rest for the wicked) and I have fallen in love with it. For general browsing, development, gaming, everything. It seems to me to be a polished version of linux, they are VERY similar in many ways but mac is just… better!
Im not a fanboy i swear, 2 weeks ago id have said “pha! MACz” like the rest of ya. Use one!
Anyhow I agree with linux for the hosting, definatly the best solution there. CentOS, my good friend!

Windows user myself, although Linux all the way for hosting - unless it’s an app for DoD, then it’s Windows/ISS :-(

Mac OSX primarly, with Windows and Linux through Parallels. Probably switching to VMWare Fusion, so I can game a bit :p

When you get your own Mac, be sure to check out Panic’s Coda editor. It combines SubEthaEdit, which is a collaborative editor (over the Internet), Transmit, which is their killer FTP app, a terminal, reference books, a CSS editor… all into one sleek app.
It definitely adds polish to the shine. I haven’t been this impressed by an application for a long time. It is wow!

At work linux and windows 2000, at home linux, osx and many flavors of windows (winxp and vista), linux to code, osx for photoshop and windows to play 😉

I use windows at work, Mac OS at home, along with a bit of parallels desktop to debug IE. Must say I prefer Mac OS, unusually.

Windows XP on laptop/server/HTPC, Windows Vista on desktop. Might put Linux on a virtual machine on my server but I have no burning desire to use Linux as main boot on any of my machines because in each case it will make something a pain in the ass.
PS. I hate MACs 😛
