Windows
I am an ecumenical OS user at the moment, but this is still funny and sort of true:
I know Windows is awful. Everyone knows Windows is awful. Windows is like the faint smell of piss in a subway: it’s there, and there’s nothing you can do about it. OK, OK: I know other operating systems are available. But their advocates seem even creepier, snootier and more insistent than Mac owners. The harder they try to convince me, the more I’m repelled. To them, I’m a sheep. And they’re right. I’m a helpless, stupid, lazy sheep. I’m also a masochist. And that’s why I continue to use Windows – horrible Windows – even though I hate every second of it. It’s grim, it’s slow, everything’s badly designed and nothing really works properly: using Windows is like living in a communist bloc nation circa 1981. And I wouldn’t change it for the world, because I’m an abject bloody idiot and I hate myself, and this is what I deserve: to be sentenced to Windows for life.

It’s not that bad, but it isn’t any good. M$ sucks ass. Vista was the ultimate in BS software, bloatware is more like it.
Linux or an optimized Windows is the best. At home, our main desktop has Win XP. My wife’s MacBook runs OSX, and my Asus laptop runs Vista.
Why do I use Windows? Programs are mostly released for Windows, mostly everything works in it, including the drivers for hardware.
everything works, mostly. I need to format my drives, but I haven’t got enough space to save my data. Need to wait to get another HD. But honestly, I don’t want to format my HD and install Win 7.
Oh, and I believe data should be free, just like information.
