    Windows has always worked fine for me, so I actually like it quite a bit... But if my computer crashes at some point I'd probably be the first to complain about Windows, though :rolleyes:

    I'm going to have a linux box, once I get a new box that is, because it's a better bet for non-gaming stuff. Although I hear good things about WINE, but I don't want to install Linux and then discover those good things were lies.

    Point is: I know what I'm talking about.

    Linux is annoying if you're not willing to do command line work. That applies to most people and I don't blame them.

    I have. Linux is a nice operating system (in my case, specifically, Suse Linux ). The only major problems I have with Linux is the shell commands and the bootloaders. I've had enough DOS commands to last a lifetime; I don't want to have to learn another mountain of Linux commands.

    Plus, the bootloaders suck - both Grub and Lilo. At least with Windows you can modify the bootloaders easily with the Boot.ini file. If you use a Linux bootloader then you're stuck with it for life - even if you remove Linux from your system.

    For me, nothing beats Windows.

    I have used Red Hat and Suse. I stand by their suckiness for reasons explained by others already.

    Ubuntu is the most evil OS ever created. No, seriously. I'd rather gouge my eyes out and swallow them than use that rubbish.
