Me too actually.. Although I still use Linux daily, I prefer to use it in my
work environment, but for home use I have switched to Mac..  I have a Win 7
box I used for games, but that's about it.    I would say 90% of all my home
computing is on the Macbook now..

Work is another story,  I admin several linux servers, and my workstation is
a linux box.. I have a win xp box that I use just for email and the
occasional quick dream weaver edits..  Other than that 9 hours of my day is
99% linux :)
