First of all hello to everyone over here ;-) I'm a newbie on the forum and its my first post here so... ;-)Anyway, I think the main thing people use Windows rather dan Unix or MacOS is the accesibility of the windows OS. Everyone must admit that windows has the lowest grade of learning and is pretty easy to use for the basic stuff people use a pc for. Offcourse we also can't forget the marketing strategies of our uncle billie :-p who managed to get windows pre-installed on about every pc. The main thing people switch to another OS is the stability of it I think, once they are starting to learn more about pc's etc. everyone can notice that windows isn't the most stable system available on the market ;-)another reason I think is the fact that just about every well known piece of software is mainly designed for windows just because the monopoly of Microsoft on the OS market which makes it most profitable for software designers do design and program software for Windows OS rather than for linux or MacOS etc. That about my point of view :-)GrtzVZV
