I've been reading this thread with some amusement. I have used a Mac OS X machine for CF development for a very long time.

There's absolutely no reason why you can't use a Mac OS X machine as your primary CF development machine. Your mileage might vary a little, as Howard pointed out, depending on the environment that you are developing for. I've actually had better experiences developing on my Mac OS X machine for Linux deployments than I have had on Windows machines for those same deployments.

What will you miss? In my experience, not very much. You will, however pay a price of efficiency while learning your new desktop setup. Aside form that, there's not much of a difference between the two now for development, aside from the fact that my Mac OS X machine asks me for permission to do something about 1/10 the amount of times that Vista does.
