For me, OS X. Great design, speed, stability... It has all the apps I need, it's great for development and under the hood is still a Unix machine with a lot of CLI utils.

But I really like Windows 7 and Ubuntu too. It's just that I like OS X more.

what trumps the other two os's then? Any specific favorite's like Textmate or Objective-C that make you prefer it?

Stability and design mainly. I like to see that all the interfaces are consistent and pleasing to the eye. And well, I think the Magic Trackpad + BetterTouchTool (I have a Macbook) does a lot for OSX.
