Well, I understand them all perfectly.

"I prefer Mac OSx but when I go to work I have to use Windows because
that's what the company uses."

"I use Mac OSx while I'm home for the summer but when I go to school I
have to use Windows because that's what they have there."

> Or even:

"I use the Mac OSx in Switzerland and dream of living in Paris."

Your examples were very nice but none of them really fit the preceding
debate. Do you have any examples that might use the absolute terminology
of "my entire life" like Michelle did?

"I live my entire life without a car" and "I live without a car for the
summer months and ride a bicycle." are two very different concepts.
