If you ever mention any Windows operating system and Linux in the same breath, no one will take you seriously. Only one of them is a real operating system while the other one is a pile of unstable shit created for suckers so people too stupid to use a real computer can feel better about themselves.

Funny. My computer is a custom-built Maverick/Black OPS XP hybrid. I use both sides as it suits me, although interacting with work's software is far, far easier through the Windows side of the partition (as are MMORPGs).

Maverick lets me dabble and play with Linux, and is a stable backup should anything horrifically stupid happen to the XP OS.

I think it might be the fact that I don't really care if I'm taken seriously for my software preferences, but this works for me.

The world is flat, technology is a creation of Satan and the old ones (Readers of the Dunwich Horror will know this) and we should devolve back to using iron and believing that a dragon eats the sun when there is an eclipse.
