You are planning on purchasing a new computer. In general, you have two choices of platform, Mac or Windows. You can also install other operating systems. For instance, it is common to install Linux so that your computer can dually boot to either Windows or Linux. Alternatively, you could wipe the disk and install Linux. How would you decide which of these to do? (Mac, Windows, dual boot, Linux, other?)
