Judging from the constant barrage of Windows complaints I read I'm not
sure that Windows (especially Vista) is universally well liked.
However there's no denying that because off its monopoly it's pretty
much the only game in town as to availability of software.

Having both Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows (XP) on this netbook (Eee PC
1000HD using dual boot) I find both to work quite well. Each has it's
advantages, and on balance both do most everything the average netbook
user would need.

Bottom line: I think OS hating is a religious thing. Many people seem
to either hate Windows or hate Linux. Either position seems a bit
silly this agnostic... ;)
