I run Windows on my PC and I have Win and Linux (SuSE) on my laptop, but me I don't like it.

 

[Respaul]

I run both a windows pc and a mac in equal measure

 

[mikhail]

Unfortunately, Windows mostly by necessity. Linux is even the lesser partner at home!

Martin seems to already have recommended DSL, I would also give Puppy Linux a try...

i run mostly windows cause it's the only os here at work. but home i use ubuntu as much as i can and i love it, but every now and then, out of necessity like mikhail said, i have to boot into windows for various reasons.
so to be fair windows is still my primary os.

The Fedora DVD didn't work. I don't know how Martin convinced me to installing Gentoo; ity is like a never ending process.

Windows for now until I can afford something better. All the computers here at work are nicely fitted with XP though, doesn't help much

Your such a dork! Luckily birds of a feather flock together. Ive never bothered trying linux although most of my former colleagues used to rave & rant about it.

Is it really that much superior to windows?

can you say geek?
my main problem on eradicating windoze from home is the fact my 2nd disk(250gb) is almost full and it holds everything important(music, pictures, movies) and it's filesystem is.....NTFS. i know i can convert it to ext3 or fat or whichever, but it's just too much of a gamble to loose all that data.
