I don't think I could live without Windows.  I really like looking outside and stuff while I am on my computer.

I actually don't like Windows. It's just that I have been using it for 14 years now. I could also go well with Linux, but I would miss a lot of things.
At least it is not by Apple.

:D

...not so great for claustrofobically challenged?

...similar to living in (most) server rooms? Or submarine for that matter.
