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.

choice is fine as long as you have open standards under it. sure most will use the most wellknown software for that task but that does not mean one should have only one app as that gives the creator way to mutch power! just look at the power microsoft have with its office pack compared the power mirc have vs all the other irc clients out there.
soon (if not allready) koffice and openoffice will be useing the same file formats (that are both based on xml or anyone can create a office suite that reads them)...
a whore in makeup is still a whore. a bad wordprocessor in a skin is still a bad wordprosessor. unless you extend the definition of skin to define what is normaly called a extention or plugin, ie something that adds features and/or abilitys.
