I paid for OS/2 and Next, but ended going to Linux because it had all the apps I needed and was getting patched a lot faster. Also, I have bought brand new laptops which come with a version of windows, so if money was the issue I'd just use that, but I'm much more productive with Linux, so I install it as a first step on all my machines.
