Ouch.

I think that some of us are being far too picky, especially Unne.

If you're happy with your OS, and it's working fine for you, then there's absolutely no problem whatsoever. All operating systems and browsers have their faults and problems (some more so than others), but not all of us use our computers for the same purpose. I use my PC for browsing the Internet, listening to music and using MSN Messenger. I have never had any major problems with Windows throughout my Internet using years, so I'm happy with Microsoft right now.

Everyone has a right to express their own opinion about each OS, though. Just don't go overboard and slag it to hell and back if someone is getting along with it just fine. It's not necessary, and it makes you look like a big head.

Apple is for graphics artists for some reason. Microsoft is for newbies and non-power users, and Linux is for...what? Geeks? People who want to customise stuff?

I don't see an intrinsic performance superiority when comparing Linux to, say, Microsoft. In fact I've heard from users of both that Linux can't fold proteins as quickly as winXP. Hah.

But really, what 'purpose' does linux serve? It doesn't support a great deal of software, I wouldn't use it for graphics-intensive programs/rendering, and apparently it is inferior in folding proteins. I'm confused.
