well linux is strings free OS....unlike windows.....
u wish to do something......there is always a way.......certainly there isnt in Windows...
lemme compare these with languages... lets say we are abt to compare... C and VB....
if u are familiar with C ... this or that way .. u can do anything in C even the things that C forbids....like changing the value of constants..........in VB if something is restricted that means it is restricted u cant do it any way...

More over linux is an Open Sourse OS....many hands working for its betterment..not just confined to labs of staff paid to develop for it....like Windows.. the closed source...

lastly but not least...

u cant say anything abt anything until u use it........

start using linux.... and u will feel the difference ur self...
well to newbies it first sometimes hurts....
i would like to quote Ken Thompson here..... on the release of UNIX he said " UNIX is a very simple OS but u need to be a genius to use understand the simplicity"......

So bee geek...and move over to linux... u have any prob in linux... u will find endless resources on web to help u out....

switch over to it...and feel the vibe....
