I grew up with a Mac on one side (My dad used them for years in school) and a PC on the other (my Grade school had them, we had a few, and so I learned the ways of both) As I grew up, me and the ways of the Mac parted, seeing as we didn't have the budget to afford anything newer than my PowerMac 6100\66, so I never got beyond system 7, until this year (where i'm living on my own and decided to splurge $25 on a pair of used iMacs) I Designed my first revision of my site using MS's Publisher (what a nightmare) and it worked about 15% of the time. after switching over to Kompozer, I had to find ways to test it with other browsers in the world, where my iMac came in handy. I have Camino and Safari on my iMac, Opera, IE6,7,8 and a few other odd ones (like sea monkey) on a VM, and FireFox is the only Browser found on my desktop. (My GF Uses Chrome, so she tests that out for me.) I enjoy the ideas of virtulization though. I forgot about MS's VPC for Mac (Until I checked my Technet, and found that I could gnab a copy for myself) and I am currently testing the limits of my iMac, by using pre-loaded XP, and Windows 7 disk images (It will be interesting to see if a 350mhz PPC can run windows 7 as well as my 3.2ghz DualCore AMD system)
