Personally, I use Windows only when I want to play.
Cause Windows is still the best OS for computer games
(except for old DOS games, DosBox is a good alternative).
Regularly, my wife and I play Populous on our LAN, and Windows is magic for that : a mac with Windows 7, a laptop with Windows 98, and Populous runs perfectly on both.
That's the real strength of Windows : the ability to run both recent and really old applications without any modification.

No, it's just because OS X is better than Windows.
Since there is no native poker client for OpenBSD, I prefer to use OS X when I want to play in a poker room
Also, I bought a mac 5 years before trying OpenBSD.
So, my PostgreSQL server is installed on OS X, working fine, and it's quite good, I don't intend to transfer it on OpenBSD for the moment.

So, as you can see, it's quite the opposite for me : sometimes, I have some valid reason to use something else than OpenBSD
Edit : Oh, and technically, the mac mini is a 85W machine, and the OpenBSD Sun Blade is a 475W machine, so most of the time, I use OS X with a OBSD VM...
