For me, the answer is that it is ultimately about applications. I use the bundled OS X iLife apps extensively. There are also apps that run only on windows that I like better than their Mac equivalents. For the simple personal tasks that benefit form a spreadsheet application I prefer Numbers. But Excel is the industry standard so I use it as well.
Why should I limit my choices to one or the other, particularly when I can have both on a single hardware platform?
I also believe that comparing and contrasting different ways of doing things makes me smarter than I would otherwise be and thus is good investment.
