Pliz leave windows alone. we all passed through windows before we understand what a computer, OS... are bout. because of windows even small kids are able to use a computer. do u think it would easier for them to starts learning using a computer with the x-terminal and all those stuffs? come on!
each OS has his adventages and disadventages. it's just a matter of the context in which u are using it.
Personaly I don't have any thing to reproach to windows because all the games i'm playing are under windows.
and linux i'm using it because of it's security and it's cost lol.
