Mac vs. Windows vs. Linux

The classic debate. I love mac and its great because it's not as common so there are lower chances of catching something to infect your camera. You can also install boot-camp so you can run windows as well as mac on the same computer. You can't do this with windows. I haven't used Linux so I have no opinion about Linux, but I heard its pretty good. Windows is okay, because it is compatible with everything but the chance of getting infected is quite high unless you prefer those every 2 second reminders that can really annoy the heck out of you. So what's your opinion on this?

I've mostly used windows, mostly because i'm a big video gamer. I build computers as a hobby/side business, and I usually stick to building window's machines. Tell me, can you play windows only games on a windows-installed mac?

I have never used a Mac, mainly because the availability of software is rather limited, although I believe that it is a decent operating system. I have 3 hard drives in my computer, on which I run Windows XP, Mandriva and Ubuntu. I would recommend trying Linux to most people, and even without a spare hard drive it can co-exist with Windows on the same drive.

I haven't used a Mac in years so I really can't say where they're at with it. I've used Windows a lot more and it is true about that since most people have Windows. I don't know much about Linux so that's a good question right there. I like Windows but I wouldn't mind trying a different system to see if it would be something I would like.
