It's partially true, but it's also that when OSX fails you can run a
virtual machine - the opposite solution can't be unfortunately done - or
install a multi-boot (even though it's getting harder and harder to do
with OS X). Unfortunately Windows 8 has taken the same route and I'm
constantly screaming when I have to use it (for some projects targeted at
it) and I see I'm not alone.
