Whoa whoa, no need to jump down my throat here... I know that may be the usual around here when you have differing points of view but... I have done my homework...
1) Free BSD is not light years ahead of any other OS... OS X is a derivative of BSD. It has almost no support for any other hardware other than apple so... that should tell you something. The size of Windows based OSes and their clunkyness has a lot to do with supporting everything under the sun...
When it comes down to it it's how efficiently any particular task is processed... This usually lies not in the OS but in the software itself. For example... take two nearly identical setups, one Windows, one OS X... Now load up a 200MB RAW image and perform some filters / other post processing on them... Windows wins every time. It's really all Adobe's fault here, I'm just sayin...
2) OMG I can run Windows on any mac... sure if I want to a) dual boot or b) run it as a virtual machine... but running anything as a virtual machine adds another layer of abstraction and another layer of cpu cycles as well as additional memory held by the OS...
So relax... like I said, I use OSX, Windows 7, and Linux on a daily basis. They all have their strengths and weaknesses... I choose Windows over OSX for many reasons other than the two I listed. It's all personal preference... I merely stated some of my reasons for my own choices...
