Myself have found Windows 2000 a much better OS than any linux I've worked with, W2k always runs faster and has a well laid out GUI with polished features; KDE is clunky and slow with a 100x more bugs and hicups than you will ever find in Windows 2000.
And now MS is attempting to convert everyone to XP, with far less recent hardware supported by 2K than by either linux or XP. If you don't like KDE, you've several alternatives in linux. You know already how much it will cost you to install linux on next month's new hardware products. With XP, you don't yet know whether it will be $150 or $950 per box, to support dual Hyper-Threaded CPU's.
I think Microsoft is excellent at developing a product if they concentrated there efforts on a version of linux they would blow the doors off all other linux companies.
Surely you've read Bill's speeches about how you violate the terms of his licenses by use of anything GPL'd, even vim.
