With billboards and TV currently flooded with ridiculous statements that Microsh!t has produced something worth talking about.

Who else hates their bug filled/unstable/un-reliable attempts at an O/S

hooray for the crapshoot that is microsoft. unfortunately I do not mesh well with macs, otherwise I would probably switch. but even with all of mic's problems... i just get along with it better.

I personally use Linux. I really like it, I can do so much more with it than windows, and it is completely free.

but with no DirectX for Linux are we not slaves to Windows for our gaming needs?

I don't do much gaming, but my understanding is that many popular PC games work fine under Linux using whine, which allows windows programs to install and run on linux. It is not an virtual machine, it translates windows API calls (including directx) into linux API calls, so programs run as fast or perhaps even faster on linux than they did on windows.

My dad has been using linux for many years, he seems to love it.

So what is everyone's opinion of the new Windows 7?

Haven't touched.

Back in the day I bought Vista x64 when SP1 came out. I'm still trying to find a place where I can buy XP SP3 !

I just find M!crosh!t fill their OS with soooo many useless things (wizards, functions) that the money I spend on a new hardware is pointless as it's sucked dry by windows.

And don't get me started on the instability issues.....

... one can only dream of a Windows that is fast and stable :S
