My OS choice is Linux but i will always support for windows, because it even makes an uneducated person to handle the system easily without any hassle.

Mac OS for me. I've always found it a pleasure to use - smooth, fast and intuitive. Every OS needs icons, so... get a really good designer to design them. It's the little details that make an OS more of a pleasure to use.
That's where Windows goes wrong for me. Apart from the stability issues, it just looks horrible. It's a corporate product that tries desperately to be cool - and it fails miserably.
I'd like more time to get to know Linux, which I hear only good things about and which, after all, is at the core of the Mac OS.

Mepis is rock solid, but I haven't used it in years. I'm using Mageia & Salix OS as a back up, currently.

Mageia is built on Mandriva so how are you liking it? does it unlike regular mandriva have an array of codecs for it (mp3/4, avi, mpeg, and the likes) Was thinking of trying this as its core is built on redhat.

I would suggest Ubuntu or Mint for a beginners Linux distro. Very user friendly and tons of support. Also I'm familiar with those, and so feel free to pm me with questions.

Linux Mint is very good. Aside from that, I'm in the process of reviewing a book for LinuxQuestions.org at the moment. Ubuntu Made Easy could well be a very good way for you to start using Linux.

Went from Windows to RedHat in 1999. Used Mandrake and several others along the way. Last few years been running CentOS or Fedora.
Never, ever going back to Windows.

Windows 7 is just perfect. I use and work with Red Hat at work all the time for enterprise servers but I just can't see myself being able to use Linux distro as an everday OS for me anyway.

Red Hat is a great server distribution & probably makes a great desktop OS in some circumstances but it's (IMHO) not a distro that I'd choose or recommend for general purpose day to day desktop use. There are far better candidates to be found in the top ten (Or more...) on Distrowatch.

Red Hat is a pretty decent OS. However there are better alternatives. Currently I'm using one called Voyager I think. Its a pretty slick OS. Based on Xubuntu, I believe. Pretty lightweight and speedy.
