Don't misunderstand me: I use Windows at work too. But like you said, I don't do personal stuff on my work machine. My work machine belongs to my employer, and if it has any problems, that's their problem, not mine. I don't like using it much, but there's a reason it's called "work"; I get paid to put up with crap like using Windows. I'll happily recommend alternate solutions if asked, but it's not my company and not my call. Luckily much of my work involves Linux (thanks to a VM), but if Windows dies or doing updates takes up hours of my time, that's no problem, I get paid the same regardless, I just make sure to point out in my weekly reports that my time is being wasted by that stuff. All I care about is that I get paid the rate I was promised for doing the best I can with the tools I'm given. If I find a better job somewhere later that doesn't involve Windows, great, but for now this deal works OK for me. For my personal machines, however, it's a different story: I'm not going to waste my time and money on an inferior OS which has no appreciable benefit to me, and many gigantic downsides. If other people choose to, that's on them, but I'm tired of hearing them bitch and complain about that OS's vendor mistreating them. They made their bed, now they need to lie in it.
