Re: People I know (of).....
Uh-huh. Replacing an operating system with another that is incompatible with just about every program to advoid spyware...that's rich.
Since M$ has the monopoly on the only easy (ok, RELATIVELY easy) to use OS that runs just about every program out there under the sun. Linux still is in a "good for servers & expert PC tinkerers" faze...kinda been in that rut for a while. It has yet to actually touch the home PC market, where your average Joe consumer will actually contimplate running Linux on their home PC.
Yes, Linux is an awesome OS, but it requires a huge investment in researching your stuff, scouring tons of message forums for your incompatibility problems, and selectively searching out for software that did your old Windows tasks. Personally, paying M$ a bit of money for an OS that doesn't take a master's degree to use, and simply requires good PC use habits, well...it's a good investment IMHO. |
