Or, are you promoting piracy? Of course if you want to move to an OS with a cost associated you have to pay for the OS license. This does not mean that once you buy the license you are stuck using it... you can move to another OS! > When Microsoft stops selling Win7, are you planning on illegally > installing that on your next PC?

It is an opinion, however, that is shared by the vast majority of desktop users... but you are right that it is just an opinion. If you include not just preferences of what people like, though, and add goals such as productivity, error reduction, etc., then you can find literature which supports one environment being - in general - better than another. Even then, though, there are differences in how the desktops are used and even if a study shows that on average X has such and such affect, it is possible this is not true for every individual. -- cc being proved wrong about his stats BS: <http://goo.gl/1aYrP> 7 simple questions cc will *never* answer: <http://goo.gl/cNBzu> cc again pretends to be knowledgeable about things he is clueless about.
