See the sig for Mandrake.

Why, pray tell, are you suggesting Linux, when the OP listed only Windows
versions?

Think about it: guy asks about how to go about feeding his pet monkey
and you go off trying to sell him a pet duck.  I mean, really, why do
insist on foisting Mandrake Linux on people every time the subject of
OSes surfaces on this group.  Do you work for Mandrake or something?

Executive summary: turning a legitimate and presumably innocent query
into yet another gratuitous "Why don't you use Linux because Windows
sucks" thread may massage your own RDF, but it doesn't help move the
conversation along in a way that would be relevant to the question.
