Good one. ;) All jest aside, I have really lost the dislike or strong like for any one OS. I use them all as needed and find that there is beauty in each. VMware or Parallels makes it possible to run them all at the very same time. That also makes it easy to move code and other files between each OS with ease. I have a powerful Mac that allows me to run all three OS on a single box. I have an 8 core (16 virtual cores), 16GB Ram, dual 24-inch monitor setup for my workstation. I normally run Mac OS X, Win XP, Vista, and 7, normally at the very same time. Toss in a linux derivative and you would need a number of computers to cover all of this. You would also need a pretty big desk. That breaks down to good value for me. What is nice about Rev is that it is able to run on all of those at the same time too. Once Linux is in feature parity with the others, I might need to run Linux in their full time too.
