During the majority of my time working with computers, Windows was the operating system of choice. Reason being, it's all I've known. In 2002, I took a college course titled "Linux Administration" which entitled me to a few cd-roms of Redhat 7.x. While this course was nothing more than a few extra credits for me, I fell in love with Linux and went through the entire textbook a week into the class. It was a nice feeling to use something "different" than what I was used to.

Whatever you Lin-user says the author is true. I LOVE Linux, even so much that I'm still update the site I created a couple of years ago (LinuxEmu - http://linuxemu.linuxgames.com ) but today I'm using Mac OS X Panther.
I prefer Windows XP over Linux, because Linux got to many quirks that I can't stand to have it as main Desktop OS. It's fun to play around with Linux sometimes but it feals like not much has happened since RH 6.0. The good things since RH6.0 is the new kernel, OO.org, Moz Firebird, KDE3 and some smaller things but the OVERAL FEAL still sucks as Eugina allways tries her readers to understand when she tries to like a distro in her reviews but allways ends up telling us how many bugs there were or how hard it was to install new apps because of the dependecncy hell.
I have noticed latly that many reviews have problems with their hardware detection which is even worse than teh dependency hell!
For now I only use Knoppix, so I can test drive Linux and see how far it has come.
