raises hand
I use Windows on my primary computer to run Cubase, on my slave PC's to run Vienna Ensemble Pro, and a Mac to run Pro Tools for hosting picture. Many composers -- Hans Zimmer, for example -- run a very similar setup. Windows is quite common, especially in the film/game/TV scoring world.
macOS is an absolutely wonderful OS for audio work, and in a vacuum is my favorite OS (due in no small part to Core Audio/MIDI), but given the amount of power that we need and the lack of replaceable hard drives, PC's are pretty much always the better way to go nowadays if you're using a desktop. For laptops, though, I'd still nearly always recommend a MBP.
