"I have been using Mac OS X as my primary OS for almost a year now, but last night I switched back. What spurred it is that my Mac OS X partition crashed and it wouldn't boot back into the OS - I used rescue tools and drive scanners but it appears that the partition just disappeared. I booted into a much smaller NTFS partition and put the Vista install disk in."

This is going to be a Vista/Ubuntu flamewar. I think the Apple faithful left OSNews awhile back. They used to have a pretty strong presence, but now I don't even know what Apple's up to anymore because we don't get very many Apple-related article submissions these days. Ever since Ubuntu got big it's just not as cool to be a Mac zealot ;-)

It's good that the Apple zealots are keeping quiet. Now if only the Ubuntu zealots would do the same, we'll get to see a lot more sensible articles/discussions here on OSNews.

+1.

These arguments just don't stop do they? People will use whatever OS they want and are obviously happy with their decision or else they wouldn't be using it.

Nope, and those arguments probably will never stop so long as the discussion is dominated by children with narcissistic personality disorder (and little grasp of the basics of rational debate). Of course, calling it "arguing" is pretty generous - most of it's just juvenile bickering filled with post-hoc fallacies and "my anecdotal evidence is bigger than yours" duels.
