Well if it counts I don't really care what OS I'm using. I have XP on 3 computers - Linux on one (and soon mac os on another)....
I would have bought an xbox (But I got a laptop instead)....
edit - so I'm not sure which option to go for as I use both M$ and Linux...

Doesn't bother me either way...
edit - maybe you could add a 'Don't care' option - or a 'Didn't cross my mind' ?

Well I'm not pro-Microsoft, but neither am I therefore automatically anti-them.
What I *am* anti is their anti-competitive policies, the way they seem to want to domainate markets to the exclusion of all others and the way they abuse their position in the market. (Oh, and the fact they're seemingly not interested in producing bug/ flaw free software!)
Were they to stop all of the above I'd have a much better attitude towards them.

Couldnt agree more with Graham, MS act as if they a gonna usher in golden era with their products, and can thus act as they see fit. In the meantime I'll continue using their products, while learning how to us Linux.
