I imagine I'll probably get mass flamed and suffer heaps of negative APs, but here goes:

I prefer to use windows OS's because of the ease of use. This is the OS I learned on (well, actually I had a C64 way back...but that's another thread.), and it's the one I feel the most comfortable with. Now, this is not to say that I feel windows is a superior product to UNIX or any Linux distro. In fact, I share the same distrust of M$ that most of you do. Even though I prefer windows, I have installed several different Linux distros just for the learning experience (I currently have a distro of RH running on an old P150), and I have nothing bad to say about Linux...but until I feel 100% confident that I know what's going on inside my Linux box I won't put it online as my primary computer. I think it's an irrelevant arguement to say one OS is better than the other...it's a preference for the user.

Let the flames begin!
