Windows 7 Pro. x64
Only people that will start a flame war are those who are insecure.
I like OS X, its a better version of linux in my opinion. (It was based of Unix/Linux right?)
I would use it on my laptop if they made it for PC's. Honestly it would work especially if they just let the OSx86 community help with KEXT's for PC hardware. I would love to run both OS X and Windows side-by-side on a PC.

I believe Mac OS is based off of UNIX, yes.
While I've never been a Mac fan (the hardware is just too expensive) I'd probably use OS X if it was made for PC's along with Windows.

I think I added just about everything else I use.
Linux is far better than MAC only thing is little bit of tweaking needed for linux...
1.Hundreds of Distros to choose
2.Open source...
3.Better Hardware Compatibility
so on....

Everything aside from my graphics on my laptop work perfectly on OSx86 iDeneb 10.5.7
My graphics will not go higher then 1024x768 even with editting the boot.plist, I read on insanelymac in the genius bar that they have almost made a kext to make the GMA 4500 work (thats my graphics) so that should be good and yes i know I am just going on and on and on and ohhh halo 3 brb

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the fact that my laptop is a single core Celeron apparently makes it tough to use Leopard with (this I tried just the other day, and other people with the same model laptop I have are having the same issue); I have a desktop (which I'm on now) that I may look into using once Snow Leopard hits, but again, the urge to use Mac OS isn't a big enough one to test this immediately.
But that's awesome it's up and running nearly perfectly for you.
