the background is a beautiful piece of art by some japanese artist.. it's the first few notes of the aria to js bach's goldberg variations. lovely.

Unix: Less of an operating system, more of a religion. Unix fanboys are even worse than mac ones. I've met people who refuse to touch windows on principle, even though it's their job to do so. Annoying as fuck.
I don't use it, not because I can't, or because I'm stupid, but because for 90%+ of users, myself included, it doesn't offer any significant benefit over windows, yet has a great many problems.
Drivers support is generally shite, it isn't anywhere near as plug and play, good music software is almost non-existant, same for games. The whole "it's free" argument isn't much cop either; so is windows for most people. Yes, with ample time and effort I could make a system that worked as well as my windows box (and yes, I know it'd be more secure, but as I don't indulge in either paedophilia or terrorism, that's not much of a concern either), but really, in spite of my interest and professional capacity in IT, I have better ways of spending my time.
Incidentally, before I get cries of "You don't get it! You've never given Unix a chance!", no, I do, I'm about to go an use an old AlphaUnix box now. Why? For the only reason you should use it; because I can't do what I need to (get a file off a tape written with TAR) on a Windows system.

as i said
it's a server OS :)
the people who preech UNIX to the normal userbase of windows don't know what they're talking about.. it makes sense if all that person using windows does is surf the web, write email, program, and have a good knowledge of computers and sometimes yearn for easily and instantly accessible (not in terms of learning curve, but in terms of speed of results) sorting of textfiles, lists of files in directories (mp3s for example).. stuff like that.
UNIX just isn't for the average user.

I like the simplicity of having a centered picture with a black background to read the file types. Its less irritating.
I need a new picture tho. That should be done in a couple days once I am done unpacking.

I agree that Unix has its place for servers (although the gulf between it and Windows isn't half as wide as it used to be; however, as is usually the case with these things, the "accepted wisdom" hasn't really caught up in that respect). I would also say that the majority of Unix fanboys are the sort of person who thinks every user should have it on their desktop machine.
A lot of these people don't seem to realise that for most people, computers are a tool, as opposed to a source of entertainment/fascination for their own sake.
90% of my job is working with servers, many of which are unix based, I have years of experience using them, I have a raft of academic qualifications in computing, I have an interest in computing in general and I really don't have the patience to learn more Unix than is strictly neccesary for my work. Quite how your typical Joe Blow whose uses for their PC are limited to DLing mp3s for their ipod, email, chatrooms and Word for the odd letter/essay, can reasonably be expected to take the time/effort required to use it as their sole operating system is beyond me.
