So what make you lot a Linux? Why do you decide to walk on the other side of M?
Oh thats an easy one, freedom.
To be honest my main home machine is actually Windows, my place of work is mostly Windows (about 75/25 Windows/Mac) and so it helps being able to run the software we use at work, at home and test things at home. Originally I did have a Windows work laptop which meant I could move away from Windows at home and I could still be on Windows for all work purposes but then as the number of Macs we have increased I now have a MacBook Pro for work and never got round to moving off Windows at home. Despite this I have about 10 Linux and BSD VMs on my home PC so I can be in Linux any time I like and my work laptop is dual booted with Ubuntu so again I'm never far away. One day I will move at home to Linux as my main desktop, just need to get off my arse and do it!
But for now, it does help having a Mac laptop for work when managing the Mac clients/servers, and having Windows desktop at home to keep up to date with Windows stuff for managing the Windows clients/servers; and having my Mac dual booted with Ubuntu/Linux VMs at home, for managing the Linux servers.
