Either way, it doesn't matter, as Boot Camp allows Macs to run Windows or Linux on a partition.

Windows is still better as itself. Mac doesn't legally have a real windows program (i'm sure you could download an authentic one illegally for free.

What's kinda weird is people say Mac is better for artists and Windows is better for gamers... I do art a lot more than I play computer games, but Paintshop Pro can usually do what I need, and I do like playing computer games and stuff on occasion.

Linux users just feel bad because they can't answer the big question. WTF is Linux?

It's a set of system programs put together to create a coherent operating system that you can freely edit without any legal problems. All they ask is you publicise your modifications to allow other people to improve them or use the idea elsewhere.
To be technical, Linux itself is an OS kernel - the central nervous system of a CPU that handles communication between all the computer's hardware. It's the most important part which is why Linux-based OSes are called "Linux" even though that's technically inaccurate.
Linux is the best operating system if all you want to do is use the internet, check your e-mail and play a few games of Solitaire, and that covers most of the budget PC market. It's almost completely inappropriate for gaming because Microsoft keeps the core technologies for DirectX under-wraps so Linux developers cannot legally implement a clone version. For multi-media, it can do the job as well as or better than Mac OS, but you need to know what you want to use and how to use it - people used to using Photoshop and MS Paint will have to get used to GIMP and Krita. GIMP is lacking proprietary features that Photoshop has the licences for, but they are otherwise functionally identical. The up-side is you can always code your own plug-ins for GIMP if you wish, or hack GIMP to use a new feature which you can't do legally with Photoshop.
When it comes to server work, the only rival to Linux is UNIX, but UNIX is a lot less user-friendly due to its age. Linux and UNIX share the same security features and file system structures that help keep files safe. Using Windows Server is suicide and I don't believe there's a server version of Mac OS.
On-topic: I used to use Linux on this PC when I spent too much money on my computer to be able to afford a copy of Windows... >_>
In the end, the inability to game, use my sound card or use a wireless internet adapter forced me to switch to Windows, which does the jobs I want it to just fine. The computer feels flimsier without Linux on it though. :/
Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

But ever since I have used Macs I just have a connection with them (haha yeah that sounds odd), I just prefer Macs a lot better than PCs for what I am using a computer for in the first place.
And any program I need Windows for; I still can via Boot Camp.
So yeah...a Mac for me please.

Even if I were to use Boot Camp, Mac hardware isn't as easy to upgrade as PC hardware, plus "official" hardware bought from Apple stores cost the proverbial arm and a leg. Sorry, but there are way too many reasons to keep me around my WinXP SP2, and now that it's been mentioned, my Kubuntu partition. <3

The reason no viruses are for linux is because about 600 people use linux.

Wrong. The REAL reason why there are no viruses for Linux is rather that there are so many DIFFERENT distributions of Linux with different inner workings, it'd take literally YEARS to make a virus that worked in all distros. There ARE viruses for Linux, but for example, one that worked in Fedora wouldn't work in Ubuntu, and one that worked in Mandriva wouldn't work in, say, Gentoo.

You just have to make it work. You can go to options and make it right click.
I kind of like clicking a button while clicking on a link.
Took a while to get used to, though.
