MAC vs Window

Hello

I am a junior CIS major. Which OS should I use? Mac or Window.

I've been using window for years, but I heard that an IT student should know both Mac OS and Window.

My main concern is that some of the software can't run on Mac OS; Visual Basic, for example.

I really appreciate your time and advise

mac os is unix based like linux, it does not run windows programs unless one install windows in a virtual machine or in bootcamp which is dual boot, bootcamp require a reboot from mac os where it boot into windows

you can't use visual basic in osx or run programs made in visual basic (also visual basic is a horrible language at least use c++ or c#..) in osx

if a it student needs to know mac os and windows or linux or just one of them depend on what you plan on working with
