I use to be an operating system architect, meaning I designed operating systems for a living. Mac OS X (Unix) is more reliable than Windows, the user interface is more consistent and the tools I need are available. Linux takes too much messing around with. Windows requires too much black magic. Neither has a really good user interface. Ultimately though it is what works for *you* that matters the most..
