First, a little background. I am a Windows user who has been using Windows since 3.1. I am not a programmer or a developer, I am a user. I process photos, use the internet, e-mail, write letters, play the ever important games and even use it to develop my comic strips. I am not computer illiterate and I use my computer with confidence and skill. Now with that said. I hate Windows.

You've been using Windows and developing software for it all these years since Windows 3.1, and now you hate it? Why? It doesn't sound right. You must have been enjoyed using it. You wait until Microsoft comes out with Windows XP, which is known to be the most stable version of Windows and BeOS died then you cry out loud that Windows gives you blue screen of death and you lost documents? Come on kid. I'm a developer myself and I've only seen Windows XP Pro crashed once during debugging a device driver. Why did you lose documents? Use a backup utility to back your files. Turn on auto save to occasionally save your active files. Or simply hit control-S once you made too many changes.
I use Linux and Windows for different purposes. But I still think that Windows is pretty damn good. I'm not going to quit using Windows until there's another OS that is better than Windows and there equivalent number of applications available for it.
