@starbreaker I use Windows because it's compatible with everything I run, is supported by some of the biggest names in the tech industry and can utilise modern hardware well. People will disagree with me on some of this, but I've been very happy.
When it comes to software and drivers, there is no substitute where I am concerned.
And I don't want UNIX to go away. I think UNIX is amazing and serves a very important purpose, including managing 99% of the servers out there.
Use what you like. ^_^
