Honestly, I've always just wondered where all the hate comes from for Windows.

Ideology has always been involved with Linux and Apple. Especially with Linux, right from the start it was the fight of the open source scene (intention: social) against the dark monopoly capital a la Microsoft. A good article about this from 2004, in German: Luftbuchungen der freien Softwareszene

Linux was never just an operating system, but a religion, a congregation of faith. Hellfire was wished on apostates and heretics (Windows users). My God Walther, there were wild verbal battles in the forums back then.  Always sock it to 'em.

All of the former major Linux forums (in this country) are either practically dead or have been discontinued completely, e.g. ProLinux. Linux on the desktop is dead, even though there will still be people using it on the desktop for a long time, but there is always ideology in the background.
For me, Linux, FreeBSD, Windows were always just what they are: operating systems. Not more!

I started with MS-DOS 3.1, and after about three weeks I have splited the 20MB hard drive into: C:\ and an extended partition with 2 logical drives D:\ and E:\. The absolutely first-class manuals from MS that were included at the time helped me.

I have never had any crashes in Windows 3.1 or higher that would have been to the operating system, it was always my experiments. However, due to the division of my hard drives, this was never a real problem, as since then my data has generally not been on C:\.

To Linux. From SuSE 4.3 (1996) to 11.2, I always had Linux as a second system on my computer. The systems were started first via Lilo and then via Grub. The first KDE that was actually usable was KDE 2.2.2, and the best I knew of was KDE 3.10/15(?).
SuSE was my favorite distro, it was always there on a second hard drive since 4.3. But since there was still space there, I also tried out others: Mandrake, Debian, Kanotix and also FreeBSD.

In summary: I had have repeatedly had problems with SuSE Linux for about 14 years that I never had with Windows. It was nice. And I liked experimenting, but then I had enough. After SuSE 11.2, I only installed SuSE twice in a VM, more for nostalgic reasons than useful ones.
