Windows 7 is much better than Windows Vista - but that ain't saying much! & Windows 8 getting bad reviews even before release.
Personally happily used Amiga through college before reluctantly switching to Win95 (for work) - then saw the light and used Mandrake Linux for years before switching to Kubuntu. First time I switched to Linux was due to my 1996 laptop no longer being powerful enough for latest windows and not wanting to throw away a good still working laptiop. I now have Macs at home and work (and many linux servers) - expensive but the Macbook Air is great for travelling and I could hardly refuse a iMac with 27" screen at work! (all I wanted was another cheap linux PC)
Windows just isn't functional for the sysadmin/coding work I do and far too heavy for just web browsing which is what a lot of people (most?) want to do.
