There are a fair number of Unix folks here who may take exception with the choices.
I use a Mac at home, but I really don't see it as an issue of creativity. I grew up with Apples in the house and at school. Later, I needed to use a lot of software that was Mac specific. Still later, I worked in a Mac-based computer lab. So for me, it's a choice based on comfort level. I would argue that MacOS is a much more user friendly interface than Windows.
I use Windows and Linux on a couple home built PCs. I don't have a problem with Macs, I just am used to PCs. Plus I'm a big gamer, so Windows makes sense for my uses(even though I hate Windows). Linux I just like to mess around with, but I'd definitely use it exclusively if all games worked on it.
Same as BDever. I use Windows on my home system which I built. I have a Dell laptop that I have setup to dual boot Slackware Linux and Windows XP as well.
Seriously, I have two computers running right now. The one I'm working on runs FreeBSD on a ViaEPIA (which is a low-energy consumption CPU and and motherboard). The fans on it are a bit noisy however. For games, game mod production and the handful of things I can't get working under FreeBSD I have a Windows XP running on a 1200 MHz Athlon Shuttle XPC which is barely audible (but needs a new CD drive unfortunately).
Shuttle pc's are nice, but they heat up way too fast when you begin to throw better hardware in them. I can't imagine running a 3000+ Athlon XP plus a Radeon 9800 Pro, both of which run extremely hot and both of which are what's going in my next pc.

Different market. I don't care about having the latest and greatest CPU or video card. I usually get my games off the "used" shelf. For me a primary concern was not having a computer that sounds like a fricking hair dryer.
That's okay. You exist. Even if you aren't an option in this informal poll.
My other computers tend to be PCs, a few windows machine, a few linux machines, and an openbsd laptop somewhere. Other then the sparc and the laptop, all of my machines are homebuilt.
PCs for me. I am a big gamer and it just makes sense along with my profession seems to be catered more towards PCs...as most business' are. About to build my new PC as soon as I am confident i have enough $$ saved up...gotta make sure ill run WoW well when it comes out
I think people who can remember seeing the original movie in theatres (or in my case at the drive-in) should get extra points for recognizing the reference.
Wait, XP sucks? I had more problems with 98 than with XP Pro.
