How many of you are running an exclusive Mac OS environment?

I have Windows XP installed with Boot Camp but I use OS X for all my day-to-day stuff. The only reason Windows is installed on my MacBook is because I need it for law school exams. Luckily, that only amounts to putting up with Windows for 4 weeks out of the entire year.

In May 2009, Windows will be removed from my mac.
 
Pure Mac here since 2006 ... the only time I need to even look for and use a Windows machine is when Nokia releases firmware updates for their phones .. . come on Nokia!:mad:
 
My MBP is all OS X atm, as i dont have an XP SP2 disc, but once i do, i can throw all my games onto this!

My PC still gets used, but slowly it will get cut off.
 
Foolishly when switching I thought I'd need Windows & got VMWare Fusion.
That lasted 2 weeks.

I'd rather take a bullet than use anything Windows again. I used Windows on my husband's laptop yesterday for 1.5 minutes and thought I'd have a stroke.

Answer: NO!
 
No more Windows machines in my house...

Even my router is an AEBS... and my server is going to be the Mac Mini i just bought today.

:cool:

But I do use Windows everyday, seeing as I support a few hundred Windows laptops, thankfully they are all running XP and not Vista.
 
My wife and I combined used to have about 6 computers between us of various operating systems, with most of mine dual or tri-OS boot. Now we have simplified and are down to a single computer each, with just Mac OS X running, it is great! :)

I have a 1.6 / 80 MBA which I use mostly for work. It had Parallels XP initially, then boot camp XP for more speed specifically for World of Warcraft. Once I installed CoolBook to underclock / undervolt, I found I could play World of Warcraft on my Mac so I deleted Windows XP completely and it is 100% Mac OS X now.

My wife has a 1 year old or so MBP 15" and she mostly uses it to play World of Warcraft which runs great on it.

So we've simplified things and are down to just 1 computer each pure Mac OS X family and love it :)

Also, we each have an iPhone and are planning on upgrading to 3G.
 
All mac household here. Three mac's, and no windows, unless my Dad or Brother come to visit. I have to deal with Windows at work, but I have never used it for my stuff at home.
 
100% Mac here.

Even my pen drives are HFS+ (i have a copy of Mac Drive on my windoze machine at work).

Sometimes I think replacing my Xbox for a PS3 so I can get rid once and for all of anything MS, at least at home.
 
I had my MacBook as 100% OS X for a year up until this January... then I gave in and installed XP in Boot Camp and Fusion so I could play Age of Empires and PokerStars (which didn't have a Mac version at the time). It felt so weird to install Windows on my Mac... :eek: :p
 
The only windows that come near my Macbook are the ones that let the sun in - to shine on the glossy screen - which is irritation enough without Monopoly Bill and his buddies shafting my system.
 
Ever since my switch a year ago to OSX I've never gone back to Windows. Imo, OSX works so much better in my case.
 
Been on MS Windows for ages and bought my first mac(MBA) 2 months back and also bought Parallels along with it so I can log on to work plus for MS Office docs on XP. Later I discovered citrix run on Mac and with NeoOffice running, I did not even bother to open the parallels box.

Any takers for the unopened box of parallels?
 
I have a rarely-used Bootcamp partition on one of my 4 macs. My MBA and remaining macs are all Windows free. This isn't due to some great desire to avoid Windows... I just don't need it for anything.

The one machine with Bootcamp uses it to run games (mostly by my son).
 
No windows parts for me for now. Microsoft Office for Mac (which isn't currently working) and that's it. That may have to change in the future, but I'll be avoiding it for as long as I possibly can.
