From a company that is infamous for its buggy software, the same software that will decide whether I am to use the computer I have bought and that they have _already_ admitted will make mistakes and lock legitimate users out of their computers?

Personally I've tried Linux, Windows (all versions since 3.0) and MacOS 9 and MacOS X... I genuinely prefer Vista to any of those. It’s very much a matter of taste.
