Obviously there is nothing wrong with people who run Microsoft software. Well over 90 % of computer users run Microsoft software. Microsoft makes a lot of great products. I run both Microsoft and GNU/Linux software. To be honest, Linux is largely the domain of geekdom :) Though it is an objective fact that both Linux and Mac OS are more stable and secure than Windows, by various objective measures. I'm sorry, but that's just the reality.
One measure of Linux's technical superiority is the number of the world's 500 fastest supercomputers that run Linux:
Operating system family *** Count *** Share %
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Linux ------------------------ 376 ---- 75.20 %
Unix -------------------------- 86 ---- 17.20 %
BSD Based -------------------- 3 ----- 0.60 %
Mixed ------------------------ 32 ----- 6.40 %
Mac OS ----------------------- 3 ----- 0.60 %(see http://www.top500.org/stats/28/osfam/ ).
