"You realize that there are still a ton of people that are still running windows XP, right? You also seem to be forgetting Vista (which I actually liked, but most other people didn’t)."
ofcourse, there are still people using win2k/nt even. also i did not forget vista, i ran it myself for years and was quite happy with it, win7 is better but overall vista wasn't that terrible either. also having used Linux for almost 2 years at work I've realized you can get used to and be quite happy with anything, its just a matter of using it long enough really, even though I still would never bother using linux at home..
