That fact that some very smart non-Mac developers opt for PowerBooks
seems to suggest this, too.
I honestly don't know -- I have never run win or Linux other than for a
specific program or capability N/A on a Mac.
With OS X this much less an issue that with other Mac OSes -- Yes, I
have purchased WinXP, and WinOffice. but I am using them less and less.
As to the performance, I didn't want to overstate, but during the day,
I also run some audio (radio streaming or iTunes) and one old Mac OS 9
(classic) solitaire game.
The activity monitor currently shows 91 processes with 707 threads --
so there is quite a bit going on.
I have found that Safari (still my main browser) sometimes gets
bogged-down if I have more than 20 Safari windows open -- depends on
what they are doing.
Also, OS X comes with X11, so you can run X window applications.
It certainly meets all my needs.
