What Keeps You Off of Windows?
J. J. Ramsey asks: "schnell has already asked the question What's Keeping You On Windows? It seems only fair to ask the opposite question. For those of you who have elected to not use Windows, what keeps you away from it? Concerns about stability? Security? Dislike of Microsoft's business practices? Or are you simply a fan of your chosen platform and just don't care about Windows one way or the other?" Might recent events sway your decision to keep Microsoft's premier software offering off of your computer?
Uh Windows is also free, for most people. Ask how many people have actually paid for a copy of windows. Either it's their friends copy, or came preinstalled i bet.
Actually, what Microsoft has done, has been proven in a court of law to be illegal. While questions of legality and morality are not equal, what Microsoft did was neither.

Greate comments!
OS X is the answer to Microsoft, but the arrogance of the commericial Unix companies would rather submit to Microsoft than Apple...
It is VERY interesting that the Linux community is ready to mimic the MS windows world: look and feel, Mono, DotGNU and not jump on Apples bandwagon. Hook your wagon to Apple should be a Linux/Unix mantra...
Interestingly enough, reductions in product quality result in a brief spike in profits, then a steady decline down to a lower equilbrium point as customers get angry that they're purchasing inferior goods. The sad thing is that usually the company that sells the higher quality product goes out of business before people catch on.
