My livlihood has been PC repair since 1986. I had to vote *nix just because it's so much better, and so widely scrutinized that is just more robust and proven. Granted, there aren't a lot of business-based desktop users, but I may push a trend here at work to switch.
I found the Macs of old to be a little more difficult for a tech to work on, but that was OK, I didn't have to work on them as much.
I've gained such an intimate understanding of the workings of 'doze that I would have to reformat my brain to start over on the Mac side, and that's why I'm a bit afraid to go *nix in teh office, I just don't have the experience to support it.
I tried to do the Novell Linux desktop at home, and STILL had to deal with driver issues. After about 1/2 dozen reformats of the drive because the installations failed, I finally gave up and just plugged my brother's XP box he wasn't using into my home. Someday, I'll have nothing better to do and reload 2000.
