Lets face it people are never going to agree on what is the os of choice. What it really comes down to is choice. Microsoft started the pc revolution in the home. I still use it and have since windows 3.0!! I also use Linux and love it. Each has its place on its prospective computer. I use linux for web browsing and email with Mozilla thunderbird and firefox. I use windows to do my taxes and edit pictures from my digital camera since my photo printer only works in windows so far. Plus I game on windows for the most part. I do play some games in Linux and I believe in time there will be more development in this area. The only problem I have with Microsoft is that they buy up their competitors or run them out of business. Then development stops on the aquired software. Don't get me started on internet exploder and the spyware tools. There will be a place for microsoft and any other os for anyone that wants it. It all comes down to choice and we should all appreciate that. I have never worked in a mac/apple system but I plan to sometime in the future. I am sure that system has its merits as well. For now I will run windows and linux and enjoy what each one has to offer.
