Sorry guys.... and girls :), it is very simple to say "I hate Windows..etc" but then on the other hand you have to say some facts why.
I´m not a big fan of it (and Bill too ), but for an average user it is good operating system. Yes, you can say it not safe system, it has many security holes, it´s true, but when you have your system protected in good level (I mean antivirus,firewall...) you can use this system in many ways.
It has "friendly user" interface, it is not so difficult to "get in" and work on it.
There are a lot of applications for Windows, but can you tell the same about Linux?
I don´t blame Linux, I am about to learn how it works and keen on about all things connected with this system, but you cannot compare Windows (XP) to Linux.

And I am sure everyone of you is using Windows beside LInux or UNIX, Mac....

Any thooghts?
