Windows is utter crap, Mac OSX is a slightly less smelly pile of crap, there is also Linux which is much less crap than both Windows and Linux.

Not sure if this is supposed to be a joke.

Are you really not sure if that is supposed to be a joke or are you just saying that in a passive/aggressive attempt to insult me and/or my opinion?
In either case let me assure you, my statement is not a joke. Windows serves my needs for a desktop workstation better than any other OS.
I've been programming since I was very young. I've used Linux professionally since early Red Hat releases and the Mac OS since System 1 as a kid and since System 6/7 professionally. Windows is by far the best desktop OS in my opinion since I have to fight with it the least to make it do what I want. Obviously, every desktop OS has its share of problems.
