Programs are what we really use,not OSes.
Agreed!
Got a Mac-mini.
Got an Ubuntu box.
Messed around with both for a while, they were both fun and interesting to start with, but I always come back to my Win-PC when I just want to get stuff done.
The mac is hardly used, software is too expensive, hard to source and not much choice.
My Ubuntu install broke after a few weeks on the net, never played DVDs all that well and was horribly slow to boot compared to Win2000pro on the -same- machine. Sure, I could spend a week digging through pages of piss-poor documentation, learning how to fix and tweak it in some arcane way, but meh.
For me it's not about the OS but the software.
