Call me opinionated, then.

I used to hate Unix.  Then I got a job working with IBM's AIX operating system,
and it grew on me.  Working with a Windows PC, I found myself downloading Gnu
tools to do the things I took for granted with AIX (and still not able to use
those tools as effectively as under a Unix-like system).  Then when my XP system
crashed, I upgraded to the super-duper fantabulous Windows 7, which I'm sure has
taken months off my life expectancy.  With Micro$haft's concept of
"user-friendly" driving me batty, and me downloading Gnu tools anyway, I figured
I might as well try Linux.

I'm much happier with Linux.  But I believe in freedom of religion, and one has
the right to choose Windows.
