I use virtual software such as VirtualBox to run various Linux distros in Virtual Machines on my Windows boxes.
A few years back, I wanted to find out what all the hoopla was regarding Macs so I bought a Mac Mini. It cost me about $1000 and worked about as good as a $300 Windows machine. I found OSX to be very inconsistent and not any more usable than Windows. After about 6 months, I tired of the machine and gave it to my daughter. She used it for about 2 months then begged me to get her a Windows machine. When I tried to sell the less than 1 year old Mac for about 1/2 of what I paid for it, I got nothing but extreme low-ball offers. I finally traded it to someone for a Toshiba laptop and feel I got the better end of the bargain.
