Unix is excellent for real computing. Most serious scientists, engineers and most supercomputers run on some form of UNIX. If they have a windows machine it is mostly for getting email or word to communicate with non-computing types. For this desktop stuff most people like the fluff of windows and the polished application choices. Mac is for school kids and humbags. It is too touch-feelie for serious computing but is easy to get the warm and fuzzies.
This is MO, as always, your mileage will vary.
