I play a ton of PC games, you show me a Mac or Linux box I can go out and buy the latest game install it, and be playing it within the hour.
I know there are a ton of programs that'd let me do that for some linux distros, but I just want something that works, and windows does that. Yeah, I said it. Windows works. I've gotten one bluescreen in the past year, it's never 'locked up', and I don't seem to have any of the problems the mac and linux zealots seem to be spouting all over the place.
Sure it's not 1337, but Windows is nice because of its compatibility and ease of use. Why would I want to spend 30 minutes getting my wireless card to work on a linux box, or spend an entire day looking for a game compatible with a Mac, when I could just have a windows install.
Oh, and spyware and viruses? Only time I've EVER gotten a virus was on Windows 98. Spyware isn't a problem, because I'm not a moron with what I install.
I'd consider myself a power user, (Yeah yeah, I've got a couple linux boxes), but I still use Windows on my main machine, and I don't have any problems with it.
Windows works, and no amount of whining and bitching about "M$" is going to change that. Microsoft might not be a "good company" I don't work there, I don't sit in on their strategy meetings, and thus I know absolutely nil about their practices. We can read slashdot and say "OMG THEY'RE EVIL" but everything is just hearsay, it might be true, but most of us don't know for sure. Maybe Bill Gates eats puppies and bathes in the blood of virgins.
That doesn't matter, because Windows works.
this proves spam is more harmful? Since the 10+ I get each day tend not to be helpful proactive life solutions but instead viagra, gambling and porn ads.
Just getting removed so they can make room for even more civil liberties to get crushed.

it's still there if you decide to turn off the quick reboot.

They're grrreat!
Wasn't one of the first things a film projector displayed, a nudie pic? Could be wrong, but I could've sworn I read that somewhere.

Hmm... maybe it is helpful.
I'd imagine getting a high rating on a pedometer would get you arrested.
Unless you're in bangkok.
