    Windows is OK for 12 year olds playing games, stay at home dads, and soccer moms, but everyone else should be using Linux!
    I do on site tech support for a living, and I always have more trouble finding drivers for Windows then I do for Linux. Back in the 90’s Linux had problems with drivers, but things have changed a lot in the past 10 years, maybe you should update your jokes also. Between Windows with all the security problems (how dumb is it that you have to buy software to protect you broken system) and Mac with it’s closed system and over priced hardware, I think that the world is a much better place because we have a third choice.

      Windows has security problems because PEOPLE USE IT. Think about it. Both Linux and Macintosh have virus’s, but not many. Mac’s are, at most, 5% of the market, while Linus is about 1%. They aren’t inherently superior in security, there are simply far less people using them, and therefore no incentive for people to make viruses. Do people make Trojans for commodore 64’s? Apple 2’s? No, because that would be stupid. Now, don’t mistake my intentions. The competition between the brands is one the best things that could happen, as it makes all side’s compete for the consumer’s attention. But denying Linux large driver issues and utter uselessness for gaming is a ridiculously pointless tactic. Linux IS terrible to find drivers for, and has no real standard on how to do things. It’s only “free” if you donate countless man hours of time to it. They know this, and make you pay out the ass for support. Obviously, this could get better if more people used it, but in the meantime, the average user has no real reason to use linux, even if all they do is browse the web (flash problems anyone?) Linux is good for mass cloning servers, Macs are good for art design, and Windows is good for everything else.

    Norwind- I believe you took a wrong turn somewhere.

    You were probably looking for some tech forum somewhere, or maybe Yahoo Answers.
    This is the comments section for a webcomic.

    Also Windows. Macs don’t even play most games. Linux can do it in lots of cases, but if you don’t already know Linux, it’s not as simple as Windows’
