And has everyone forgotten Mac OS X? You get most of the *nix benefits PLUS a really neat OS. Now Mac OS X is not free, but it isn't $200 either... and you aren't getting the "watered down" version (Vista Home Basic) either. Plus, Wine-equivalents are already starting to be available for Mac OS X (I speak of Darwine, the free open source one, and the $60 CrossOvers Mac from Code Weavers). Plus, there're funny commercials (ok, so most of the commercials are dumb, but the OS... :) ).

The Mac hardware is too expensive. I'd be happy to get one if I didn't have to pay £500 more for the same specs as a normal PC.

What ever happend to "Lindows" ?
There was so much promise with this OS. I havent heard anything in years.

Linspire is probably the most unpopular linux distro in the linux community (well the geek side anyway(which is most of it))

I guess thats why i havent really tryed to tackle Linux. Unfortunatly, I have always been a point and click guy.
I have had 3 years of programming courses in college, with exeptional grades, but it was always forced. I have never found a comfort zone, it was always to much work for the little reward( IMHO )
Good for those of you that have the drive and feel for the programmers choice. With regret, I will unfortunatly be a windoze user until a better alternitive comes along :(

Something a tad bit related:  http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-242569538632072049&q=genre%3Acomedy&hl=en

It's simple, it's stupid, but yet I can't stop laughing.

Wheeeeee!

Wrong.
Fear is their most important weapon.
