Since then, I have really thought about what that means. I try to have moderation in all things in my life- and operating systems is one of them. :) All OS's have their pluses and minuses. What really bugs me is when people start on the "my OS is better than yours" talk without even listening to the other side.

Until this past year, I used XP for everything, even though I had a partition for SUSE 10 on my laptop. As I got a little more adventurous with the linux side and XP crashed more frequently, I slowly transitioned until I deleted the windows partition completely. I installed Ubuntu, which worked better with my hardware than SUSE, and now I would only ever install windows again if I wanted to get back into gaming. I'm still very comfortable with it, though, because it is running on my school's computers. I've also gotten to be proficient with OS X, because a majority of my friends have macs. I feel that if I was presented with a completely new OS, whether with or without a GUI, I could at least make some guesses and figure things out from there. I agree.
