I triple-boot my macbook pro at the moment, and am happier with Win 7 over OSX for my personal needs. More stuff just works with it.

For development I'll take Ubuntu over messing around with macports, any day.

I only really use OSX for iTunes, as I don't want all the bloat that comes with it on my Windows installation.



I understand. I used to dual-book my MacBooks because I like the keyboard and trackpad better. I stopped dual booting when Homebrew got good enough for installing lots of open source software on OS X. Also, I have enough Linux servers at hand, that I just use SSH, Emacs, etc. and can really do what I need on Linux from the command line.

Except for rarely booting my Windows 7 laptop, life is simpler using my Mac just with OS X and relying on Linux servers.
