28. Linux
I dual boot with Windows ,but I don't count it really because I so rarely use it.

Linux ,for me at least, is easier to use and less frustrating to use than Windows. I'm not a programmer or uber geek either.

If I don't want a pre-installed program, it goes in the bin. Unlike Windows, I don't have to use a registry hack or third-party program to get rid of it.

And if I need a program, 95% of the time I can use my distro's package manager to download and install it for me just by typing in a single command.

As for my desktop, I can trick out KDE without downloading a thing. Instead of being saddled with two or three themes, I can customize my desktop exactly how I please. And if that isn't enough, I can download Superkaramba for free and/or download additional themes off of the Internet.

And with DRM on the horizon, I won't be going back to Windows.
