I currently own a PC running Windows 7 and I really enjoy using it. For the most part, Mac OS X and Windows computers can both perform the same tasks, so it really comes down to user preference.

Having used both Windows and Mac OS X, it is funny the little things you miss from one or the other. For example, on Mac OS X, I really missed Foobar2000 (I simply detest iTunes) and Exact Audio Copy. On Windows, I lament that there doesn't seem to be any equivalent to Filemaker's Bento.

In the end, I feel that we need to stop acting like for Windows or Mac OS X to succeed, someone has to fail. There are enough users in this world for both of them (as well as Linux and BSD).

Your last paragraph outlines everything perfectly. It's nice to see a comment along the lines of "the world is big enough for all of us".

Regarding Bento, Visual Studio Lightswitch might just cut it when it goes RTM: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/lightswitch
