I don't have either Mac OS or Windows because I don't care about them as long as I can do what I want with GNU/Linux on my PCs. That's not to say I didn't run into issues with GNU/Linux, but boy did I have plenty of those with Windows... ugh! I've lost much more time fixing or maintaining Windows than I've done with my GNU/Linux distros (I've used plenty, although I've settled for Mint).
As for Macs, they're not an option for me. Their inner and outer beauty are not enough to make me choose one. I build my own PCs and I buy laptops that are easily upgradeable because I want the luxury of doing a lot of things with that hardware, and Macs don't offer that kind of luxury. And that's ironic considering their price. Apple could make them easily upgradeable/customizable, especially for that much money, but obviously they don't want to. So I'll never buy a Mac - it's that easy.
I can understand why many people like Macs, though. As long as they have their needs covered, they feel pampered. That's nice, of course, but I've seen people making strange faces when I told them how much their needed upgrades cost, and how much the same thing costs for a non-Mac PC. Sure, there are also PCs deliberately made to be hard to upgrade. That's why the people who want a new computer should get informed with their options.
