Do you use your computer for ham radio?
PS: If you want to see what Open Source can do to your favorite hobby, take
a look at Elecraft's K2. They do what I described above and the result is an
outstanding piece of equipment, because they value input from their
customers. Their documentation is as good as it gets.
What does this have to do with Linux vs Windows?
It seems you have never heard of the term Open Source Software and what
makes it so fundamentally different from proprietary sofware. Sad.
Take a look how Elecraft develops its products, how they treat their
customers, value their input and improve their product by taking community
feedback into account.
Compare to Icom.

Play Station 2?
Runs with Linux, yes.

joke I've ever heard.
No joke.
Oh. Just cluelessness then.
