Some of you might be thinking, why? Well, I think it's about time. MCSE's, VB Programmers, and techies have been using Windows for years, and I think it's about time Windows moves to the desktop for ordinary people.

for the last time... there is a reason that windows is the number one desktop operating system, adn it's NOT because "m$" is evil. it's stable enough (don't even try to say that it crashes constantly for you, if you have it running on good, name-brand, supported hardware and you don't install ghetto, bug ridden software, windows 2000/xp are VERY stable) to get work done, and it runs tons of applications that people use every day.
an operating system isn't about zealotry, and it isn't about flamewars and arguments. an operating system simply facilitates the execution of applications. nobody does word-processing in a program called openbsd, or linux, you run open-office on TOP of the operating system.
ugh, i'm going to stop, because this just frustrates me so much, especially when i see this whole, needless, 'window$ sux, L1Nux r00lz' debate come to childish satire and low-blows.
it's been said a million times before, but i'm going to say it again, because some people just don't seem to get it.
if linux works for you, use it. if windows works for you, use it. if bsd works for you, use it. just shut the hell up about why you like one or the other. and if you really have such a beef with an operating system, put your money where your mouth is and try to make it better, or start work on an alternative.
