Since the majority of items I do outside of work are use of Gmail, google docs, internet apps, and IM. I can’t see any reason to be tied to an OS. MAC, PC, or Linux it should not matter.

The only issue I see currently is that my job focuses on using Microsoft. Currently it is difficult to develop in .NET on any other platform that Microsoft.
