But ever time I've tried linux it was just to damn slow to be useable. Because Unix/Linux was designed to run on high powered scientific equipment. Windows was designed to run on the original "desktop computers", or low low horsepower.

With all due respect, Linux was originally based off of MINIX which ran on Intel based PC's, not high powered equipment. Embedded Linux can run on all sorts of small devices like Linksys routers,Palm handhelds and some mobile phones.
Windows if anything is serious bloatware by comparison.

..Linux was designed to run on high powered scientific equipment..You know better than that. Linux was designed for x86 platforms, and runs better on low-end stuff like Pentium-1 better than any version of Windows, even the old DOS-based 9x and ME series.
