See, that's another thing about Linux lovers .. they assume that just because you're using Windows, you haven't tried anything else. My last experience with Linux was Redhat 7.2. Granted, probably not cutting edge by today's Linux desktops, but I am waiting for a distro to come with both KDE3 and Gnome2, and then give it another spin. I always load up Linux about once a year to see how much better it's gotten.
