I find Linux less buggy than vista.

I dual-boot those, and same here.

The education, basic office and home e-mail checker market probably accounts for well over half of PCs. None of those uses above what is given here (if you use Linux). I don't see why that 50% of the market doesn't switch now: it's much cheaper, there's no compatibility issues like gamers have and if you never change anything there's no problems with ease of use (not that I believe it's hard to do if you want to change something).

 Many of them don't even know what an OS is...

Beside that, there are few quirks here and there on some stuffs, particularly connecting to the Internet. I'm running Ubuntu and my wireless internet connection keeps getting disconnected, especially when running bittorrent.

Other than that, I like Ubuntu more than Windows.  

Plus, pretty much all the prebuilt PCs and laptops you see at local stores have Windows preinstalled.
