Extra steps extra steps. A better comeback would have been "well Linux has games Windon't." BTW, you really can't beat Linux for a free os. But still you can't beat Win2k for compatibility, sophistication, and minimum requirements.
windows vista for me. i loved it. only time it ever gave me problems is when it first came out. got a lot of bsod's with my nvidia drivers, but for those who remember winxp was even worse when it first came out. using win7 now and it's good, but i have my complaints. that's a whole other thread tho... also, 75% of those complaining about vista prob never even used the OS or just had shit pc's to begin with.
