Not really sure where to put this thread but this is probably the closest forum. There is a discussion here about the possible decline of PC gaming compared to consoles. This got me thinking... I use Windows only for gaming. I dual boot into Linux for general day-to-day use but obviously have to fall back to Windows for gaming. My wife uses a PowerMac and isn't interested in gaming at all. The reason I use Linux is that it's free and it feels more secure. It also does everything I want and need and in many cases it does it in a way I prefer.
So my question is whether you would continue to use Windows for general day-to-day use if gaming were not an issue? Would you look at alternatives such as Linux, BSD, Mac OSX, etc?

Otherwise I'd just get a lot of people saying Windows is essential, etc.
