Why does it seem that people are defending Windows in this argument?
What I think is that any operating system that has to be tweaked and have tons of stuff installed to make it work is stupid. Mac OS X and Linux just work out of the box. Windows almost never behaves in my experience. You can never be bored if you have a Windows machine.
Linux and Mac OS X have decent default settings. Mac OS X doesn't have stupid services running, or everything bound to all ports. Mac OS X doesn't have tons of crap running that you can remove to save ram with no ill effects. Linux doesn't either.
Windows is seriously rubbish. I'd rather use Linux in qemu or vmware on a Windows machine (and I do try to...).

We all totally needed that kick back to reality.
They argue that Windows isn't so bad after an hour or so of disabling broken Windows shit, bit of a problem there. Nothing is so bad when you don't use it ;)

I've never used it (probably would have if my old computer worked, but it wasn't meant to be).
I've only ever gotten a graphical connection to a remote computer once, Lead Head let me into his via VNC, and I seized the opportunity to look at lots and lots of porn :)
