    I think Linux probably suffers from blind eye syndrome. It is another OS, with bugs, with security holes, but because there is this odd "Linux is just perfect" attitude no one is prepared to actually find them. Of course they never get exploited because everyone is too busy hacking Windows.

    I see no reason to move to Linux, the largest software, hardware support belongs to Windows. Windows is incredibly easy to use compared with Linux. Finally Windows actually costs money rather than Linux being free. There is no such thing as getting something for free.

    I think that's enough Linux/Windows bashing in this thread thanks. It's not helpful to anyone. :)
