OK, time for my 2 cents, lol
I always enjoy having a Linux box--connecting a LAN to the internet is so
stable that way!
I also enjoy the *wealth* of apps available for Windows.
Each OS has different consumers, and end uses in mind--the only real
solution
I've ever seen is to have at least two computers--one with Linux, and one
with
Windows. Each has it's strengths and weaknesses. Linux has gained on
Windows
for ease of use and installation in the last few years. WIndows, IMHO, has
improved over the years. It's not perfect. Linux is not easy (but getting
there very fast.). As my Canadian guest has said, the OS that combines the
best of both, will win.
And if you want to talk dumbing down of users by OS, I think Mac takes the
cake
for *that* one!
