I always do a lot of server-y stuff on my desktop PC, all of which is possible but a lot more tricky from Windows, plus I love the command line*, but if I were to use my PC for what most people use it for -- browse the web, read email -- I can imagine using Windows. Firefox is Firefox, Thunderbird is Thunderbird. * after getting myself an Android phone recently, I told my wife that I now run Linux on both my phone and my PC. She, having run Android herself for over a year, was surprised that it was running Linux, which she mostly knows from having seen me run it. "But... you don't have to enter commands on Android!" > Software is terribly sticky Which is why I keep being amazed at how Mozilla managed to convince about a third of IE users to switch to Firefox, after which Google managed to convince another third of these users, plus a few of those that had switched to Firefox, to Chrome.
