You have to remember that Windows is not open source...linux on the other hand IS and because of that more advanced computer users turn to linux as thier operating system...then if they find a bug they go and fix it and then post it up for others to do the same. With windows us "computer folk" don't have that liberty. And as far as BETA testing goes, it is totally flawed half the people who get the beta just pirate it out and the other half just uses it without knowing what they are looking for. And I totally agree that if Microsoft did their own dirty work it would be less problems for ALL OF US!
But don't take my word for it... (if you have ever seen "The Reading Rainbow" you know what I am talking about
)
As for your question about "how most businesses use Windows for their business" you have to remember that they use windows because of its nice and user-friendly GUI interface. It is easier for their staff to use it. I don't think (or rather hope) you would not catch one of the admin using windows
, I would be quite disappointed. I think the problems start at the schooling level, as a student at high school myself, we are all taught how to use Windows, and the Mac OS rather than Linux which relys more on the user to know commands. I don't know about you, but all I learned about how to use computers in school was how to "POINT AND CLICK." Now I feel deprived 
.
I use windows too, I dual boot between Linux and Win 2000, but I think that 2000 is far better than XP for sure...it was Windows first OS i feel, 98, 95 and DOS were all just toys built on top of one another...I have a feeling this will be wrong later though...I think that XP just needs a SERVICE Package download
