"I do not consider Windows ready for the desktop. I found it difficult to use, buggy and lacking in security. I also found technical support lacking. While Windows captured a significant portion of the desktop market, the product is clearly not a good fit for consumers who do not understand the risks associated with logging on to the Internet. The costs of providing aftermarket products can run higher than the price paid for the hardware."

I also tried Windows XP (again) a couple of months ago. My installation went much smoother than his, but I remember experiencing a lot of things he's talking about.
What bothers me most about Windows is, that you are never really in control of your OS. I can install tons of GNU software to make Windows at least useful for my daily live needs, but it's just exhausting doing that.
And started to wondered why people are going through so much trouble having Windows as an OS. Personally I think it's an enifficient use of a computer.
Flame me all I want, but that's how I feel about it.
