Platform wars are not good - no matter what - though thankfully this hasn't blown out of proportion.

I know people who swear by Macintosh computers, I know people that swear by x86 computers. Personally, I own 5 computers:
x86 laptop (runs OpenBSD)
x86 server (runs OpenBSD)
x86 desktop (runs WinXP Pro)
Sparc64 server (runs OpenBSD)
PPC desktop [iMac] (sitting in basement collecting dust, harddrive salvaged to put in another machine)

I just couldn't think of a use for the iMac - my laptop and servers run most vital applications (vim for word processing, pine for e-mail, webserver, etc.) and the Windows machine I use mostly for games and chat.
