Sorry All....
Windows and Linux is an age old question. I really think we need a third option. In my opinion better than Windows and Linux combined was OS/2 Warp. You had to almost delete your disk before it would stop and there really are very few security flaws with it that can not be fixed.

My second point is let the Linux users keep posting demeaning, hateful posts and keep the smug attitude. The only thing their posting and gripes do is push more people to the Microsoft camp. When people are that far out in extremism, whether it is Islamist, Linux or whatever the mainstream will stay away from them.

Lastly, anything man made will be flawed. Linux is flawed, Mac is flawed, Windows is flawed and OS/2 is flawed.
