Working in IT, I'm interested in what people prefer to use. Yes, I am a geek and it doesn't need repeating.

Personally, I have always been a PC man and a Windows user (although now I'm more of a Linux man). Discuss here which you prefer and why.

NB. No flames please and if you believe one is better than the other please say why.

I like Linux because I'm a tinkerer and I love the freedom it gives me. Also I find it more secure and stable and I like learning new things, which is what every day is like as a Linux user.
 
i'll be an IT geek in a few years <laugh>

Anyway I prefer using a pc to a mac, Linux isn't bad iv'e fiddled with that operating system a few times but don't really like it much

Personally, I don't really care if it's UNIX, but everyone knows Windows ...keeps me on my toes <ok>
 
I thought this would be more popular than it has been. Are there no techies out there???????????
 
Had a Windows machine at home, and used to work on a Linux machine. New job gave me a mac laptop, so that's what i'm using now.

Having used them all, Windows is my least favourite. Linux was excellent for my work, but I would be a little worried about having to be my own sysadmin 100% of the time if I had a Linux machine here. The tinkering is nice, but it slows you down a lot...

So now i'm on the mac, which is a very nice machine. Gives me an easy-to-use machine, and i can delve into the Unix side of the OS to do my work. Very expensive - I don't think i would spend my own money on one. But they are super nice!

Really? iTunes is ok, but i still prefer good ol' Winamp!
 
Mac. I don't anyone who owns a mac who'd ever consider going back to PC. Just a much, much better product.
 
Posted these the other day but they sum things up quite well

For a price... I don't think that they are worth the extra to be honest. Don't get me wrong, very slick, easy to use, very nice product as you say. But so expensive. If I was buying a machine with my own money, I would get a top-spec PC and live with windows... (or maybe take the plunge into Linux)
