I prefer my X system of Ms's anyday. Designers might want to check out http://www.xfree86.org. Linux is here to stay, and so is *BSD, its NOT going away, and never will, because its been here 30 years since AT&T. I don't own ANYTHING made for that so called "Windows" OS.
I don't pay for binarys when I can go download the source for free. I love security and LOVE to have control over what MY servers do. I don't like company's limitations of security through closing up some prog binary. Its too insecure. I prefer to use source to secure my systems. Not let some company decide that I have to download a so called "Service Pack" because THEY screwed up.
I have been a Unix admin and programmer for over 17 years, and run my buisiness successfully off of NON-Commercial Platforms.
But there are STILL us geeks out there that use more than 3gb per month. For stuff like, browsing, downloading, web-serving, mail servers, DNS, FTP servers. Stuff like that. People who don't really care what the average AOL-like M$ user does.

Nobody I know uses IE.
I use Netscape running on Linux, and OpenBSD.
I don't own a so called "Windows" OS.
No intention of wasting money on "Windows".
I don't use closed-source software, much less pay for binarys when I can get the source free.
