When you say PC, do you mean MS Windows? I use that as little a possible. At work, I spend most of my time on Linux and, as of about two weeks ago, I have a Mac Mini with OS X 10.4 at home as my main machine but run a virtual Linux box within it using VMWare Fusion.

I use a PC, but I'm considering getting an Ibook as well.

Like i though. Mac users are always less than windows users. People like gaming.
Today I have heard that nowadays you can run Leopard on non apple hardware and people are just googling it like hell. Ofcourse it is illegal to have leopard DVD before its release. But if you are an apple developer thats ok you can download it from apple. That is both good/bad news IMO.

PC Linux user here (although I happen to be using Windows to write this). I've got a Mac at home that I almost never use because it's so slow to do anything.

I'm a recent Linux convert... :-)

Although I dual boot linux and windows, and mainly use windows for photo work as I have imatch and photoshop elements running on it.

Hmmm isn't a Mac also a Personal Computer? And you can run Windows or Linux on a Mac these days? Perhaps the question should have been 'What operating system do you manage most of your photos on?'

I use Lightroom 1.1 on OS X for managing/editing my library. My favourite photos are going to be exported to iPhoto.

Default Mac is the best...

I've used Windows and Sun OS and the Mac OS is the simply the easiest and most user friendly system in the world.
