I use Windows because I can better exchange data with others and because any obscure utilty that I would ever need, chances are, can be found under Windows.

I use Windows at home because i use my computer mostly as a game console, and games are on Windows. Once all games are on Linux, i will delete Windows from my PC. But this day is still far ahead... I already use Linux at work, actually i've been using Unix variants at work for over 10 years... As for my parents who dont play any game at all, they use Linux / Firefox / OpenOffice whenever they fire up the computer... Games are the real only reason people might still use Windows, or maybe Photoshop (which has yet to be ported on Linux)... Otherwise it does everything Windows does, but better, more stable, just as easy if not easier, and even prettier. |
