Ok, way weird, it said there were like 14 replies on this earlier.... oh wel

Linux ownz everything.  I'm sorry, it just does.  I have never been impressed with anything microsoft has ever made (except windows 3.1, that one never ever crashed, ever).  Windows has bloat and unnecessary features that'll waste space and memory with stuff you don't need/want, not to mention every time a new windows release comes out you need a new computer to run it!  The only thing windows has over Linux nowadays is games, and even there they're starting to lose with great games such as Neverwinter Nights, Unreal Tournament, Army Operations, all being ported over to linux and in some cases, running way better.  Granted there are some parts of linux that need work (better ACPI support, work on the DRI, etc) but it's coming together.  

Anyway, back to the question at hand, I'm running Gentoo Linux on my laptop and Windows 2000 Pro on my desktop for my games (Counterstrike, Diablo 2 and Warcraft 3).  I anticipate that I won't be using my desktop for any real work until I take my GUI class which unfortunately needs windows :-(.  

Heh, I just realized how old this topic is....
