I'm a windows user by nature, I've been playing around with Linux for a little while, I'm no Expert in any way but I've used quite a few distro's. The first distro I ever stuck with for any amount of time Was Xandros 1.0, which a friend provided for me. Except for the fact that it ran an old version of KDE it was perfect for me, but the old KDE crippled my work. Enter Xandros 2.0.

About that "don't say M$, it looks stupid and it immature":
M$ has repeatedly (very much repeatedly) shown that they're a greedy company with no business ethics whatsoever (and constantly acting against the deeper wishes of their customers), and they've been doing that for decades now, so that's enough proof that they're not a particularly lovely company.
And if I want to write M$, then I WILL write M$ (since it reflects nothing but the TRUTH), and nobody will be able to change that, not in the least people making stupid comments about that.
If anything could really be commented on as being immature, then it's M$'s management (you just need to look at that idiot called Ballmer doing his ridiculous monkey dances, or at recent very strange security related announcements or similar events that make you laugh out loud).
IMHO it's people of the type "why, has Microsoft done much wrong?" that need to wake up and smell the coffee, not the "enlightened" people who are knowledgeable about IT development and thus have long since viewed that company as what it actually is: a pain in the a*** and a huge obstacle to proper competition and advances of our IT world.
To sum it up: leave me bloody alone with such comments, since M$ worked very hard to really deserve such naming, as an incredible number of "crimes" against end users shows (kill this DOS version, make that Lotus not work any more, steal that Stac IP, force that Windows version on OEMs, yadda yadda yadda) which turn up once you do some internet search.
