If windows is the best for you, use it and pay for it, for most of my 
friends it is windows too (but they are bad boys and do not pay 
anything), but for me is Linux/FreeBSD. I believe in free software and I 
will be promoting it among my friends. If we want FreeBSD and Linux 
survive, we have to use them. Using Windows only increases Microsoft 
bank acounts.
