I currently run and support a mix of Windows/linux and Solaris machines both at work and at home for various "projects". I can say I would have purchased a Mac long ago (I used a Lisa in the past), however the hardware costs, until recently, could not compete with a build-your-own windows or linux box.
That changed. For a while the barrier was Mac OS was not command line friendly, that changed. Then, finally, the SW investment to retool my (or my businesses) windows applications was too high. Now, with OSX and open source tools that has changed as well.
My next computers will be Apples, I'm sure. Just gotta wait until one of the ones I own, that are working so well, dies... can't wait.
