Xubuntu is my primary desktop, although I use a variety of distros.

There are so many advantages ove Windows that it is not even close. Mac OSX is almost usable, but the machines are too expensive. I sometimes have used a Mac, but my most recent is a G4 and I don't use it because it does not get security updates. With Windows, I'll say a few things. I don't like software that is designed to be unreliable, as Windows is. It is clumsy to use and makes me feel dirty even using it.

I try other OSes a good bit. PCBSD is pretty nice. I used Syllable a fair amount. Transparently provable security and a decent desktop would draw me to try a new OS.
