We each have our preferences on a Platform.  Each of "our" platforms is 
the "best", to our opinions.

I started with Windows back in its earliest days.  I tried the first Mac 
systems, but never could afford to switch to a Mac.  Now my desktop is 
Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.  I keep a Vista Laptop for the USB hardware and 
Windows-only software that I need from time to time.  One day I will 
make it dual boot so I can have Ubuntu on it as well, but I still need a 
bit of Windows from time to time.
