When my iMac died, i moved my VM to my PC and was able to get back to work with minimal downtime. But even within my VM, I found windows managed to interrupt the experience enough that I went and bought a mac sooner than later. Which is a shame, because my VM gets about twice the performance on the PC.

So for me it's now Mac for leisure, Windows for gaming, Linux VM for work.

But I will move to Linux for leisure, linux VM for work, and (maybe) windows for gaming. I may end up getting a low-end Mac and using VNC or RDP for the few mac apps I really want, if I can't find alternatives.
