I'd bet your corporate IT folks have already set the same registry options that Never10 does. That's totally fine. If you don't have an investment in a lot of expensive Windows software that you'd lose if you switched platforms (e.g. to Linux or Mac) and you really don't like Windows for some reason, that's a completely reasonable strategy, although I would strongly caution inexperienced users from choosing Linux. It is very secure and stable but its hardware driver library is a bit lacking (meaning it may not support your recently purchased printer, scanner or other device) and if you need to install and/or configure some software that didn't come pre-installed it can be a bit of a nightmare. A Mac might be a better choice in that instance (or skip the general purpose computer altogether and get a ChromeBook or a tablet).
