[edit: my apologies for using 'M$'. no hate intended]
2) I buy MS products because I prefer them in many cases. I'm buying Windows 7 because it works great, and I want to move from Win2k8. I use free operating systems every day (and work on my own), but for day-to-day tasks on my local machines, I prefer Windows.
2) To each his own, but I think the community support for linux vastly outshines windows support because you're probably talking directly to some sort of developer on *nix forums. Also, I prefer linux from an ideological standpoint. If the machine on my desk is doing something, I want to know exactly why it's doing it. Attempts to do that in windows violate your EULA.
I'm just saying that, all things equal, people will choose the cheapest one, and they aren't doing this because they don't know any alternatives.
... Though I am pretty irritated that Adobe STILL won't make a good flash plugin for linux. sick of choppy video. Windows has me there.
