NB. I'm not saying there aren't any, just that the most commonly quoted reasons which basically boil down to performance and stability are manifestly untrue in the majority of cases, like this boot time example.

Lots of these examples (particularly with regards to stability/crashiness) are really about Windows 95/98/XP, which are the last versions of Windows that many Linux users ran/remember. My first Linux install was done immediately after Word crashed 10-12 times in a single *hour* during a paper I was writing at school. Now I use Word 8-10 hours a day and I can't recall 8-12 crashes in total in the past three *years.* It is really unfortunate that most of us don't realize what we're competing against - it is a very bad bubble to be living/thinking in.

It was just a supposition to make a point. Would you feel any better should I had mentioned OS X instead? What's all the fuss about?
