I agree.
Well considering my windows on my MBP has been corrupted some how and won't start I'll have to side with OS X today. I like the experience better in OS X but the programs I need are solely on Windows.
Windows.
Windows for games.
Mac OS X for work and browsing.
Linux for fun.
Voted OS X.

Pretty much my opinion with Linux. It would be interesting to use it, though when I had it on my netbook it was so damned frustrating to get applications I use regularly to work. Even then, they didn't work. Since I bought tens of dollars in Steam games for that machine, them not working is an issue. This isn't an issue with my iMac G3 that I added to an old JVC stereo, with a light WM I threw rhythm box on there and imported my music library. It may have taken a few months fucking with X to get it to start properly on that machine, though it's not like I'm going to replace my core 2 gaming machine with it.
I've use the Mac OS and have to say it is pretty polished and has more (Helpful) people behind it. With a smaller set of hardware, it makes the experience a little better, sort of like games on consoles, which may not be the best decision, though it makes it easier to troubleshoot. Once again, it doesn't have my applications that I use regularly, at least bootcamp is really easy to use apparently.
There is far less freeware for the Mac, though I do have to say that a lot of the Mac only programs are very nice looking. For example, Colloquy is beautiful for an IRC client compared to Quassel or XChat. I also love the included software (At least iMovie HD), I would almost kill for a copy of iMovie on Windows. With Windows Live Movie Maker, you can't do much at all. With iMovie on a friend's computer, I was able to help them make a really nice video for their school project. Compared to the school projects I did in Movie Maker, they look pretty.

Okay, but I didn't get answer how you use it for fun? :)
It's interesting, you learn stuff. And unlike Windows before 7, it feels nice to use (imo).
I prefer OSX for general everyday things but I use windows a heck of a lot more.
