Im running Windows on MacBook for 4+ years. I have Bootcamp installed, and I switch between OS X and Windows 8.

I use Windows for .Net development only. When it comes to programming Ruby, or just to surfing the web, I prefer Mac OS X. The UI/UX for Windows really sucks comparing to OS X. No gestures support, you'll need to use mouse instead of TrackPad.

You can tune your Windows (use third-party tools like trackpad++, write some autohotkey scripts), but you won't get this feeling that you're at home.

(FYI: I'm ~4 year Mac user and I've been using Windows/Linux since 1994).
