I use OSes for what they're good for.  I have MacOS X here on my desktop
at home, for web browsing, movie playing, and SSH to my Sun and SGI boxes
here at home.  At work, I have a need for Outlook/Exchange/scheduling/
Word/Excel/Visio, so I use a Windows 2000 machine (which serves as a 
glorified X/SSH terminal most of the time).

I tried to use a Sun box as my ONLY computer for a quite a while (over a
year) but kept running into things that I needed to do that the Sun
machine wasnt up to (mostly Visio/Word type stuff, and VPN into the work
network).  So, I got a PC for those.  I use each machine for what its best
suited for.
