 I am just dying to find out why this is so. I find the unices I work
 with to be much more usable than any incarnation of Windows. So what
 exactly do you put into 'usability'?
...and that's all Martin Christensen wrote I'm afraid

Seconded!  I find stability wise Linux out strips any Windows I have used so
far (haven't tried XP yet - and to be honest not planning to).  As far as
usability goes Linux is way ahead.  I find Windows too restricting for my use.
Apart from a few applications I just have to use I find its interface slows me
down.  I'll qualify that by saying that I am definately a techy user.  Still
this is getting OT for this list - perhaps move onto user?!
