I suspect those differences are barely noticable
my computer has vista home on it, and it works perfectly fast, and aside from my shit netgear usb wireless dongle being shit, I've never had a single crash, and it is popularly thought that Vista is slower and shitter than most of the other windows versions.

edit: I've got off my original point here which was: have these views by all means, feel smug and self-satisfied by them, but don't let on to anyone, it is very unlikely to advance your case with the boy/girl/creature of your affections (should they actually exist in the real world)

I dont think that there are many people who would judge somebody by the operating system that they use, and besides who would want to date them???

it's not about what operating system they use
that's the point.

it's about them not wanting to date someone who would talk about their operating system, so I was advising you not to.

I hardly ever talk about the fact that im a linux user, and in no way do i think that linux users are better than windows and mac users.
