Eh, to tell you the truth, both linux and windows are good. Windows is mainstream and pretty much everyone knows how to use it. It isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Don't get me wrong though, i would never pay to use it, but it's good for the average joe.

Me, i love linux. I love the customizability (yes, new word) of it. I like being able to make it work exactly how i like it, even though it requires some work. You get a kind of satisfaction out of making something work which didn't before. I also like how it is open souce so i can recompile the kernel and do any modifications to it like adding support for certain hardware. Also it's cool to run an OS that was made by volunteers.
