For 5 years I used Linux exclusively. Always booted in text mode.. used WindowMaker as my window manager.. read slashdot and freshmeat obsessively.. purchased my entire wardrobe from think geek.. installed everything from source.. actively tweaked my kernel .. uprgraded the kernel on every minor release.

Then I grew up.

I don't even have Linux installed right now. I don't have time for it. I need Dreamweaver, Internet Explorer and MS Office to do my job. I'm not going to reboot my computer into windows everytime I make a gallery to make sure it works in IE before I submit it.

And, as much as it hurts me to say it, Windows XP is plenty stable. The last time I had a BSOD was when I was working as a sysadmin 2 years ago people still ran Windows 98 and the NT file servers would crash regularly.

And I can run the programs I used most on Linux on Windows. I've got graphic vim as my default text editor. Mozilla as my default web browser etc.
