One line, kids:
If you haven't considered OSX, you're an idiot.
I used to hate MacOS. In fact, I still do. But OSX has now evolved to the point where it totally kicks ass for desktop use. Unfortuanely, it'll only run on proprietary hardware, and for this reason I'll never buy it for my own use - I build every computer I own from freely available parts, and whilst I admire the dedication that's gone into making a great OS, I won't let myself get tied down to a single hardware platform.
But Linux still has cooler applications IMO. Unless anyone else knows of a piece of software for Macs that'll let me dial in from any inernet connection and tell my computer to record the film tonight, and then record the latest Radio 1 Essential Mix? True, you might be able to get most Linux apps running to some extent on OSX, but not natively.
There were talks way back of Apple considering porting to x86. I'm still waiting, although it's never likely to happen.
