Why Windows + OSS

Lets me see this from simple and basic consumer's perspective.

• Hardware support (you really3x can't beat this)
  
• User Interface (excluding Apple Mac Os X)
  

Services support is a factor too, but if you are a power user/ IT staff that's not a big difference and that's your homework anyway.

You may flame about anything, but I think that's a fact. Risk? of course there is a risk from become popular like MS Windows, so does if other OS get it.

About why OSS, you may follow this links:
www.nosoftwarepatents.com --> a serious issue if your read carefully
www.gnu.org --> common license explanation
www.opensource.org --> more license explanation

Other may see a general fact that most OSS are free (at no cost)
:)

BTW, its not 90's anymore. Look at sourceforge and see how much OSS has grow.
With better education and better programming language for novices/non-programmer, in 10's thing will get more exciting. OSS will prospering in every type of software, I hope!
