Yeah, admittedly I'm more a Linux fan than a Windows fan, and i used to do the m$ thing, but it got old after i did it a few times, and quite frankly MS isnt that bad.
They have an OS that has 90% of the consumer market (done somewhat unfairly, but they still offered the supperior product for many years 1992-2004 imo) They've done good things in bringing in API standardization and keeping a backwards compatible system for 18 years, which is not a small feat.
However things like security ( i dont want to have most of my processor runtime take by an antivirus), stabilty (a system shouldnt crash at least once a day and shouldnt slow down over time), and design flaws (page file fragmentation, high resource usage) are things that need improvement and ensure I'll be dual booting XP and Ubuntu 8.04 for some time to come.
