"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."

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.
Actually, they will never stop so long as the preinstall-OS landscape is dominated by one OS - and I don't care which OS it is, though realistically it's not actually going to be anything but Windows.
Think about it. Do you get childish car drivers? Of course. Do you get endless carmake wars? No. Why? Because the market is not saturated by the products of one domineering company with an allergy to the free market.

Sure you do. Just go to any rural area, ask a group of people if they prefer Ford or Chevy or Dodge pickups, and enjoy the ensuing fistfight.
It's just that OS advocates are much better-represented online.
