My opinion:
Mac: For professional editing of media, even though windows can do it too, Mac seems better. Very shoot for gaming though, very few games have been ported. The most rediculously priced computer you can get, much more expensive than a sinilarly powered PC. Also basically non-customisable.
Windows: For gamers or casual use, can do everything that a Mac can with varying results. Also an alright development platyform, with many SDKs and IDEs available for Windows. A sensibly priced computer will allow you to do pretty much more than any Mac can do, while the more expensive models (still cheaper than a Mac in most cases) will allow you to do preety much anything. Largely customisable.
Linux: I would say that this is the 'hackers' OS, but the word hacker has been brought bad attention. What I mean by this, is that people who like to change their OS and make it their own, edit every last thing possible, they are the true 'hackers'. Moving on, this is probably the cheapest option out there with many free programs. Linux is good at doing a lot of things, but it is specifically good as a development platform. It obviously isn't too good with the latest games, but I had varying success with Wine, so it is much better than the Mac. Fully customisable, more-so than windoes (You can even change the OS) it may be 'too complex' for some, but their are some very user freindly 'distros' out there for people who don't want to fiddle with anything.
