I just had a good trial run with linux and I have to say, I'm impressed. It was just about what I expected but not quite. Everything is code based and there is 1/10th of the software available for windows that is available for it.
I'd say right now, that no OS is really superior to the other because they all have practical uses. If you're running servers, recovering passwords and torrenting from local libraries or just being an OS trickster(like me) then linux is pretty useful. If you're into doing everything especially graphic design and word documents with no possible "no" from your PC then mac might be your best bet.
However... Windows, no matter what windows but any modern windows seems to be the most compatible OS in existence; Vista or XP. The thing is that I don't understand why people seem to like to compare them all as if they are comparable, because they really aren't. Would anyone in their right mind think of going MAC if they intend on using high-grade hardware, drivers and mainstream games? Hell no, unless they are either die-hard-fans or just hate Microsoft that much for whatever reason, ego or otherwise.
There are people like this and I don't understand why. Why so much Microsoft hate? I do really think we could take it down to ego and stubbornness. Would you really take the hard-rout and try 4 hours to run high-end games on linux just to prove a point or spend 30 minutes installing Crysis, Steam or really anything entertaining on Windows and instantly have a blast?
In my world, I don't see why dual-booting can't become a standard; maybe not for the causal user but for people who really either can't decide or would rather do some things on this OS and some things on that OS. Why argue over what's better when nothing is better, only different?
