Different operating systems are better suited to different needs, mainly because of the software that is made for them. If you rely heavily on multimedia editing an production software, you may rely on Mac OS X as your operating system to run these programs. If you require business productivity applications or playing games, Windows may suit your needs better. If you require a secure and highly reliable workstation, server, or embedded device, or if you cannot afford either of the above for other needs, Linux may suit you better. This doesn't necessarily mean that you can't do all of the above with all of these systems (except maybe embedded systems with OS X), but the systems have all evolved independently to fill different niches better than others.
