P.S. Security is 'better' than Windows 7 too. They have tweaked the kernel of the OS to be better protected. Still not perfect but NO operating system is. All have weaknesses and malware.

OpenBSD would like to have a word with you. :p

OpenBSD has also suffered from security problems. They bang on about the default installation having had only two remote vulnerabilities but the default installation isn't exactly a mainstream OS usable by the general public is it?

Again, nothing is perfect!

And Sammy... :p I only sold my soul to M$ because the alternatives are overpriced eye candy from Crapple or functionally limited Linux distros that miss some of the features that I want and need.

I was going to pick apart your long answer a bit, but I realised that there are definitely some things I agree with, but I think the old adage of "You get used to it" is a bad argument. I got used to the brain hemorrhage-inducing UAC in Vista, doesn't mean its any good. Likewise with this, I've been playing around with Windows 8, I don't particularly like Aero, but it's much better than the crap Windows 8 serves up even if you do happen to get used to it. I haven't upgraded myself yet anyway, I'm going to wait until SP1 to see if its worth it then.

Not everything Microsoft does is good (far from it). I've run Windows, OS X and stuff using the Linux kernel, and I'm not gonna recommend anyone really because they're all shit in their own way

I'm not going to stop using Windows, but I'll be sticking to 7. Can Google please try making a proper OS?
