Win7 is actually fairly reasonably usable once I've managed to beat it
into submission.  (Two tips:  VirtuaWin, ShellFolderFix.)  What I've
seen of Win8 looks ... awful beyond my ability to express in words.  It
looks like the ultimate dumbing-down of the GUI metaphor.

I still do all my real work on Linux.  Windows is strictly GameOS.  I
consider it neither secure enough, stable enough, nor powerful enough to
rely on for anything else.
