I have all three here running at Casa del Garrett, and I'm moving around between them all the time here, and so I tend to gravitate to software that runs on them all...like FireFox, and Open Office. I actually don't like Open Office all that much...but it's portability across platforms saves me from a lot of frustration fumbling around for the right way to do something when need to bring it up on whatever machine I happen to be running at the time. The point being that just because someone else likes a particular application, that doesn't mean you'll necessarily like it too. It's how you work and what You need your software to do for you that's important. I always tell people to use the software their most comfortable with, that does what they need. We need to make our machines more like us, instead of our becoming more like them.
