I*have not used Windows for anything whatsoever at all since about 1998. I ran 5 interconnected car repair shops with sneaker-net Ubuntu and home-made Point of Sale. I hate Windows. There is something basically wrong with it that makes my skin crawl. Windows is loathsome kludge, an outgrowth of DOS (not even developed in house). The better competitors like Borland were trounced by Microsoft. Now Windows is a conglomeration of patches on top of patches. Virtually all of Europe is migrating away from Windows, especially the governments. When you go online I suspect maybe 90% of everything runs on linux, not windows. Cheapest thing (what I do, at any rate) is buy a laptop with Windows on it and wipe it to install Ubuntu. Never looked back.
