There are people who buy a car to tinker under the hood, they favor Windows...
LOL!! Well, I suppose if I had learned to do all my computer-related stuff on a Mac to begin with, I'd have that preference. And I let someone else do my tinkering. ;-)
I do have a friend who has a Mac, so I've tried to negotiate my way around that system. I guess once you learn what all the pretty little desktop graphics represent, then you're good to go. ;-)
That being said, XP is pretty darn good. Not quite as easy as OSX, but certainly good enough.
