Definately not...

I have XP at home, and use that purely for games.. For all other stuff, I use linux.

I don't have a 64bit Proc, and if I did, I would run Solaris X86 on it....

I personally consider windows to be a liability, is is insecure, and because it is so prevelant, and often used by people with little or no knowledge of computers (i.e. true "users" ) it will always be the platform of choice for hackers, virus writers, etc.

I do use it for games, but if RON, CIVIII HL/HL2/CS etc were ported to linux - I would do away with it forever...

(bear in mind I am a unix techie - therefore I know how to configure/harden unix and unix like operating systems..)
