PC or Mac?
RedEye asked this question in a different post so I thought we should run a poll.



Writing this on a PowerBook...

Actually, the poll should have been using checkboxes. I have three PowerBooks at home and a ThinkPad. I have, let's see...about seven different Macs at work, of which one is my primary Windows development system. At home I have three wireless routers in a Wireless Distribution System and about 8 different wireless routers at work.

However, all said... I voted Mac.

Strange to see Macs leading - I'm sure that will change as more people vote.

Macs for the last 20 years. The best thing about the latest intel-based macs is that they run windows too at native speed. So at last both machines in one!

Shouldn't we add Linux to the poll? I guess probably not too many using it. I am (Fedora Core 3), plus a PC.

I'm also on Fedora Core 3 at work but getting ready to try out Ubuntu.

Windows XP at home.

Probably will get a Mac soon for my gf so she can use final cut pro on it.

My home desktop is a PC, my home server is Linux, and at work I use PCs. I purposefully chose not to make it a checkbox poll as to make people choose, I think most Mac users have to use PCs at some point. Now, perhaps I should have put in a Linux option but I am calling that a PC (unless your running it on a Mac), that is a bit unfair to Linux users but they can start their own poll if they don't like it and I'll be happy to vote there too. Similarly if you are running primarilly Windows on a Mac-tel I would say the proper vote here is Mac even though you aren't using OS X.
