I started losing respect for Microsoft a long time ago, but I've only learned about alternative operating systems in the past couple of years. And I know something about computers. I guess people that have little/no knowledge just assume that it's Windows or nothing.
I tried to break away from Windows with Mandrake Linux, but I didn't like it (and, to be fair, I kind of messed it up...). I've got Gentoo installed now, but I haven't got around to installling anything but the basic system (and that took me three days - I kept on messing things up!).
