Mac vs. PC, what do you use?

I've read that article several times! I've actually been having problems and do believe that my mobo (an MSI) isnt nearly as compatible as my brothers, a Gigabyte. We had OSX running and whatnot already without much fuss on his, but mine is quite reluctant. We got OSX installed on one of my Harddrives now, but it still doesnt want to load into Leopard. What im thinking/hoping is that Apple will just release their OS to all systems, if they did that I think they would gain a big chunk of the market. Probably tough to do that though when they make so much money off their systems currently. I cant remember if I've ever even heard of Gos before?! Just googled it, looks pretty sweet. Says its geared towards myspace users, thats weird. Ubuntu is a pretty sweet OS. I think windows has a pretty long future yet, im sure there are people out there that dont know any of these other OS's exists, and when you have the money microsoft does they could probably continue to put out some crappy software. Also, I think Vista will pick up more and more steam, quite a few people I know are switching over to it. (Im still running xp)

Im actually DLing that gOS now to try out, I have an extra 500gb HD that I had bought to install OSX on. Do you know how I can run two sata drives, both with different OS's on them? If I have both of them hooked up (one with XP and the other with OSX) it just stalls the computer after startup and it goes nowhere. How would I even run it to have the 500gb as a slave to my other drive? I would like to clear OSX off of it and use it for other OS's which I could select at startup, then when im bored with that perhaps just use it as a backup drive. Advice on that would be great, thanks!
