Well I've never used linux but im about to try it out. I have to agree with buddy who said that windows was "user friendly", I perfer to say pretty. But the whole thing with windows is, that those 98.999999% people that dont know anything about computers, software or hardware, all have windows. They have no idea what is under the interface.
Technology is suppose to make your life better not more complicated, that is why every one uses (meaning bussinesses and families) use one OS, because it is easy to go from one computer to the next and just click a welcoming start button.
The reason im thinking about switching over is for one......... the crashs....... two, i want something new......... three i want to know what all the hype is about.
Remember this, most people get on computers for
1) work
2) porno
3) entertainment (love chating etc..........)
4) gaming
Who cares about protection and OS (other than us)? Its all about how will this benifit me.....
How much would linux cost by the way (red hat?)
