Personally, I can't find a use for Linux as an OS. Plenty of gadgets out there that use the OS due to being open source. Webservers, screensharing, virtualization.

Webservers and virtualization hypervisors use it because it's stable, wouldn't call those gadgets.

We couldn't argue all night long because you are a complete idiot and wouldn't even know where to begin arguing the point.

The amount of cyber bullying that goes on, not only on cs but also on other forums. There are a number of people I could name and shame on this forum in particular that only pop up when they want to bully targeted users.
I have spoken with several members of over the years who will not post on the site because they feel targeted.

Quite a few people at work use it and for every day use its OK. I've used it but still find it too problematic for my liking.
I work with some very clever unix guys but they still have problems when doing simple tasks like undocking a laptop, connecting to projectors etc. In theory these should all be simple but the number of ubuntu people who have to reboot to connect to a laptop or it causes a kp is way too frequent to considering (not saying windows doesn't have its problems but generally its not very stable for off the shelf kit)
I would never considering giving it a parent. I would dred the day they say its updated and and not started up and you have to start messing with config files to get the display working with the window manager (yes this also happened to a colleque)

I guess that's mainly a familiarity thing though?
Plenty of times in my past that windows has done something similar and I've had to make registry hacks or config file hacks etc

I would argue that the chances of you having to do a registry hack is much much much less likely than having to mess around with window manager settings.
I agree its with familiarity.
I don't think I have ever had to hack around with registrys on windows in normal use (Definitely not since Windows 7). Its only when messing around with software for work I've had to.

I love a bit of Linux as much as the next geek, but I've NEVER got on with it for a day to day "Office" machine.
Windows is just too far ahead and polished in every department, particularly in an AD (and nowadays federated online) environment.
