How about just let people use Windows if they want to. You can use Linux.

When people switch to Linux they fail to see that they don't have to bash Windows and stop using it.

They can co-exist with no problems if done correctly.

I have a dual boot machine.. WIndows and Gentoo.
The family uses windows, i use linux.

but every couple of months when windows /system32/config becomes corrupt and refuses too boot, they boot linux.

i dont TRY to make windows crap out. it just does.
