I use and respect Windows because it's the only operating system that lets me use the computer.

Mac? Maybe if I want my computer to be fashionable room decor and nothing else.

Linux? I'm not a libertarian neckbeard with too much time to waste and a bad case of acne.

BSD? We don't talk about the Berkleys.

Linux gives you most control of your hardware. Windows gives Microsoft most control of your hardware.

...except when it's decided to shove an update down your throat, in which case it won't even let you log in until it's done.
