I use windows but like macs too. The big reason I use windows--other than the price--is that it's easier to walk potential clients through sites, programs, etc. if we're both using the same platform. It's easy enough to get tripped up while communicating through different browser versions, to say nothing of browsers.
So if I'm pitching to someone green, someone who isn't remotely comfortable on a computer or online, odds are he's on Windows XP, and I can IM him the baby steps simply enough:
"Okay, so you see the big START button in the lower left corner of the screen...right, that one...click that...now..." etc.
If we were on two completely different platforms, the process would be unnerving--more frustrating for me and, more importantly, potentially more frustrating for the client.
Yes, I know you can install XP on Mac now.
