Funny thing is, I'm offhand compiling some Pros/Cons to Windows/Linux, and this has caused the topic of "Support" to completely swing. Used to be, if Windows fucked up, I could complain to Microsoft and they might put someone on a support call intended to fix it. Now, if my OS fucks up, Microsoft will blow me off and send me to a useless AI, while the community for my Linux distro has pros that may genuinely be willing to take some time out to figure out what's wrong. (Not always a guarantee, but better than nothing)
