Linux:
My one and only Linux experience was years ago, when I was working in a Public Library in Memphis. Our one and only male librarian brought in his Linux machhine( is that what it's called?) to display. Patrons were fascinated by it, and if I remember correctly, a little penguin kept popping up on the screen... This article made me want to cry. I am not tech-y at all! What I wonder is that no matter how great Linux is because of its customizability, will it ever be super widely used because of its technical-ness? It seems like tons of work to use. Then again, many folks find work like that entertaining.
Mac OSX:
Up until now, Mac anything was a mystery to me. I actually want to get my hands on one and learn how to use it...
Windows:
What I learned from this article is that I'm glad I didn't jump on the Vista bandwagon when it first rolled by. Hopefully many of the bugs have been worked out, because my new laptop will be running it. I was a bit disappointed by this article in that it wasn't anywhere near as technical as the other two. (Don't tell anyone I said that!)

I want to second your thought about Linux. It is true, some people find the work and everything time consuming about computers a challenge and very entertaining. That has always puzzled me. The internet is a perfect example. I work with people who send out e-mails full of useful sites they encountered last night for us all to look at. When I see those e-mails my first thouht it "How long did you surf the wed to find all those sites?" and my second thought is "Don't you have a life outside the web?". I am both envious of and puzzled by such people.
I have used both Mac and PC's and they do have their benefits, but I do like the Mac. I learned how to use them in college and they do get a bit of getting used to, but are well worth it! I am not really a computer person, but I can say Macs are pretty much idiot proof. Definately try them out. I bet you will be pleasantly surprised.
