Do you not choose Jobs as your personal lord and saviour?
Like evangelical Christians, they are not content to be happy with their choice. For complete fulfilment they have to convert everybody else to the One True Way too. I've used both Macs and PCs, and to be honest, as long as they pay my invoices I couldn't give a holy crapola.
Real men use UNIX (OS X is built on FreeBSD UNIX foundations). I still use Windows Vista Media Center for TV/surfing at home, but now use OS X Leopard on a shiny Macbook Pro at work. I still utilise XP under Parallels if I have to.
Great to have access to both the Windows command prompt AND a proper BASH shell (terminal). The earlier noob who was slagging off macs knows nothing about computers and would probably have an aneuryism if you sat him in front of a terminal window.

but true. I use the mac for graphics/animation/wireframing, as it's just quicker and easier that way (with the Adobe suite anyway), Linux box for general day-to-day surfing/markup/documentation/ftp/terminal, and an XP box that rarely gets used except for testing and the odd game or two.
