I think Linux is more stable than Windows. I have Kubuntu on its own HD. What I don’t like about Linux is there are programs I can’t run on it. I use one program I have over a grand tied up in and I can’t use it on Linux. Wine won’t run it either. Linux does have its drawbacks and so does Windows. I have been trying for over a week now to install Adobe Reader. I hate the command line crap. I’m also still trying to find out how to download a program and then install it.

very Nice article ^^ I would have to say I agree with most of this, I’m normally switching around with xp, vista, ubuntu, Linuxmint and mac…I’m just surrounded by computers I think for all the windows users badgering GNu/ Linux is abit silly seeing as Linux really inst that old and it’s getting better, more supportive, more innovative every day because of Distro’s and companies that want to see Linux succeed to remove that over powering giant called Microsoft that is suffocating the computer industry really

BTW to any one that’s interested in trying GNU/ Linux ubuntu isnt the best one to try out first, Linuxmint has been built around ubuntu but has most of the things needed to make people happy ^^

Another reason:

Windows gets confused with ‘extraneous’ partitions used by other operating systems and allocate drive letters to them which cannot be freed.

If you have, say, 8 partitions in your hard drive, Windoze will associate 8 drive letters to these partitions, reducing the number of drive letter you can use for associating networked drives (DOS command: net use) or substituted drives (DOS command: subst). It’s possible to change association of drive letters, but you will always have 8 drive letters allocated, always reducing the number of total network resources you can associate.

The following link explains how to circunvent this difficulty.

One more reason:

On Linux you can associate applications to whatever shortcut you choose.

On Windoze, you cannot associate your beloved Firefox to key combination Win+F, for instance, because it is already associated to ‘Find’ functionality provided by Windoze Explorer. Oh well… if you think freedom is important for you… you should consider another operating system.
