The only real downside that I know of to Windows is it's popularity. Since MS has 95% of the market, all the hackes, virii, and malware are aimed at Windows boxen. I've not used Vista, but I imagine the same will apply. with MS, you really need to be up on your security and infestation-cleaning skills.

For the Mac and Linux, the big drawback is compatibility. Never used a Mac, but I've played around with Linux. It's clunkier and less intuitive than windows, and some things I need for work just won't run under the penguin.

All IMHO.

You can wirte about how they all use the same type of processor now, and most of the components used to build them are pretty much the same....
