Windows doesn't really crash anymore, and I haven't caught a virus at home or at work in many years. My only remaining complaints with Windows are:
*Price. Unlike Linux, it's not free.
*Culture. The people who write applications for Linux expect to give them away for free, and give you the source code as well. Contrast with Windows, where even a hobbyist programmer will make his program closed-source and ask to be paid.
*Planned obsolescence. Windows 2000 was good enough to last 20 years, but it's unsupported, and the drivers are incompatible, so you can't use W2k/XP with newer hardware anymore. This is my biggest beef with MS at the moment.
The product is great (just about flawless), it's just the business model that leaves something to be desired.
Speaking of the Evil Empire, if they would release DirectX for Linux, I'd probably be running that operating system now.
