I would dual boot it (or triple with linux when I get the time and feel like it). Although I might anyways in the future for programming.

I primary use Mavericks on my desktop (Hackintosh with a hd7870, It works :D). Unfortunatly there are non OSX compatible games in my Steam Library so im dual booting with Windows 7. The productivity I archieve with osx and the magic Trackpad is huge compared to Windows. I needed only a handfull of tools to make my OSX experience perfect (windows snapping to the sides, ntfs drivers, better touchtool).

OS X is no more difficult to install than Windows. 

 

Then again, after installing Arch linux, everything is easy.

OSX is extremely easy to install, and it's free if you/a family member/a friend has a Mac. All you need to do is download Mavericks from the App Store and use Unibeast to put it on a USB. There are hundreds of pages of support threads online too. For the specs in my sig., all I had to do was install a LAN driver and everything works perfectly. In my opinion OSX is superior to Windows in essentially every was if you have no interest in games, and the Chimera bootloader makes dual booting OSX/Windows/Linux extremely easy.
