I've had a partition set aside for installing XP on since I got this box back in April, but I'm yet to find a reason to actually go and do it. I'm not much of a gamer so don't miss them at all.

I have XP running in VMware just for Office 07, Office 08 has too many features missing for a lot of my uses.

And after using Mac for 8ish months I hate going back on the windows box at home which used to be my main machine: I'm the troubleshooter and it just seems to always have something go wrong with it. I'll end up replacing it with an iMac.

Well I have my macbook for everything else, and my Windows comp for Flight Simulator, so I havnt totally made the switch..But, I am totally used to only having Leopard on my Mac. Hell, It would be on my PC if it could run Flight Sim.

I love Leopard, so simple and quick!

No more Windows for me since I got my Mac either.

However, I still have to use it at work and uni because they all run Windows-based networks For e-tax I borrow my sisters Windows machine...

I haven't had a (useable) windows machine since 2003 and my MacBook is staying windows free.

I go to the library each year to use e-tax.

Cheers,
Andrew

Primary machine is the Mac, but I still need the Windows box for gaming and MS Office 2007. It also gets used as the primary photoshop machine because Adobe pretty much hates Apple.

If you're a web developer (I am) then you absolutely must have access to the PC platform to test websites on. Mistaken it or not, over 90% of the world views websites on IE on a PC.

At work I've got an intel iMac, but have Parallels with XP installed, and the infamous IE v6 (breaker of CSS code in websites!) In fact it's great that I can do this, rather than having to go to another PC, fire it up and check sites on it ...

Never installed Windows. Don't need it or want to pay for a copy of it.

Mac all the time except for using windows box at work to use a couple of specialist engineering programs and that is an ad-hoc basis when to analyse something.

I used Windows because it was required for an IT course that I am doing.
I ended up deleting the partition because it was a waste of space and decided to switch to CrossOver.

To tell the truth, I've stopped using Windows years before I started using Macs.

Cheers
Steffen.
