I go with OS choices.

With a Macbook and bootcamp, you can run OSX and Windows 7.

If I can't run OSX, that's a big problem.

Why not run OSX on a Win7 computer(just curious)? Of course the official support bootcamp gives you is great.

Are you a really big fan of OSX? I'm assuming you prefer it so much that you prioritize it, and plus/minus windows

You can't do it (easily). I think there are also hardware compatibilities to watch out and the effort (of setting it up and maintaining the 'hackintosh') just isn't worth it.

There are some apps that are Mac only. Also you get access to the App Store with great Mac software.

Also it's got a good shell, etc. As far as I know, OSX is only licensed to run on Macs.
