I do not know whether to take the above as rhetoric or not. So assuming you
are serious and do not recommend Windows at all. Then what do you
recommend? Especially considering that 90%+ of the programs people would
want to use on their computer (like CFT-Win) are written for Windows?
Perhaps you use some sort of Linux system with Windows emulation. And if
you do, then how easy is it for an ordinary computer user to install and
fix the system, especially since the local computer shop may not know how
to fix any problems that come up?
