In my life, I use OS X and Windows Vista as my primary operating systems. Not so much Vista by choice, but because that's what I have to use at work. It does alright, except that I have to restart the damned thing 4-5 times a day when ever I leave photoshop or dreamweaver open for too long. And forget about memory usage, IE7 is a hog, but that's OS independent.
Just the same, every time we're coaxed in to switching operating systems, it's an unfriendly experience. I even remember the stability issues that I was having with Windows XP back in the day. Service pack 1 was the end all be all of fixes to save that OS, and I think Microsoft is hoping to regain cred with this new Service pack.
What it comes down to for you? Who cares? The point is as long as PC hardware comes so cheap, and mac hardware doesn't come in a budget market, you're stuck with the Windows Defacto Standard of "we do whatever the hell we want and you pay for it."
Oh no, I've just become that guy...
On an unrelated note, if my high school keyboarding teacher knew I could type this fast without the method God handed down to her on Mount Sinai, she'd be turning in her grave (I do believe she's shed the mortal coil).
