I am not an IT professional, nor anything close. I'm always amused by Mac users who, though quick to condemn PCs, are, apparently, quite ignorant about them.
I run Vista on my Mac (both as a Boot Camp partition and also within Fusion) and have an XP Netbook. I also have a MacBook and 2 iMacs in the house. This war is overrated.
I do enjoy using my Mac more, but I can use either just as easily. And I'll be honest -- I don't bother with antivirus or anti-malware software on any of the machines because I'm willing to rebuild anything that gets infected. Only had one small issue 5 years or so ago and that didn't change my mind.
The whole Mac. vs. PC war is pretty boring, for the most part.
