I've used it - on my new brother-in-law's home PC while house-sitting for them
- and coming from a Linux user's background, it was alright, but only for
comparison purposes.

I could see myself using it for developing Windows programs - with the wealth
of Free/Open Source Software development tools available I could do that
without selling my soul to the Microsoft Mordor - but other than that, Linux
fits my requirements much better.
