Windows
Yes and any explanation would not be complete without looking back through history as well.

Whether you argue price, features, best performance, marketing, stupidity, whatever, we are left with an OS that is the most complete, idiot proof, compatible, etc.

For all the Windows bashers...what other OS fits the bill? Games, apps, price, support, etc.

And I'm not talking about corporate users...MS owns the home desktop market (and corporate for that matter) for a reason.

You can argue one thing or another, but if you look at the history combined with the complete package, there is no better OS.

Linux is confusing, a pain in the rear to a newbie, etc. And I use and like Linux too.

However, John Q Public would much rather see Windows improved upon rather than replaced...it's all about learning curves, laziness, whatever but learning a new OS isn't a top priority for them (right or wrong, it isn't).
