Yes, I can imagine that switching to OS X would make the most sense for individual users, particularly those in the creative field, but what about large enterprises? Is there a large enterprise, as in a Fortune 500, that is using OSX? If not, if that large enterprise knew they had to move from XP (or as James noted, the poor souls still stuck with Windows 98 – I’ve heard of some still stuck with Windows 95 – scary!), what OS would they go with? I’m just not aware of a single large enterprise that uses OS X.

Move to OSX — you won’t regret it. You can always run Windows on the Mac if you need it.

I tried C, but it didn’t last. As for A, i can’t see how that would benefit me at all. As for businesses, i know quite a few that still use *Windows 98*, so i suspect that their transition to Vista will be equally as slow.

Sometimes i consider D, though that’s usually on a bad day typically resulting from something like C or A.

In the end, i just chose B.
