You're one of the small minority - most Windows users wouldn't consider
anything else. Those of us who use Linux at all are in a minority of
less than 5% I can no longer claim to use Linux exclusively since there
is a Windows netbook and a Windows main PC in the house, primarily for
my daughter's schoolwork - but there are also 5 PCs, 2 x NSLU2 and 2 x
Sheevaplug capable of running Linux. Regardless, I really can't find a
compelling use case for any other than Fedora developers to use Fedora -
too unstable and ill supported.
