I use Windows because it is efficient. I am starting to use Linux more and more everyday. I am learning about compiling and putting together a Stage 1 Gentoo OS.

My intake on this is that even though Microsoft has about 90%, it will eventually decrease. Schools, corperations, small businesses and even home users need to spend their money on other stuff. While, I'll get feedback that will say "I didn't buy Windows", it's still quite known that a very small percentage of the Windows userbase is using Windows pirated.

I'm working with my school's funding on software and hardware and to purchase all of these Windows 2000/XP operating systems completely blows the funding. We have switched to Linux terminal system and a believe that using it saves a whole lot of money, allows us to use older PCs and also gives us more to work with.

Microsoft won't stand tall forever. They don't have very many promising things to add to their next OS (and after that). I believe that their market will gradually decrease and open-source will play a big role.
