    Another downside of Linux is difficulty of configuration and UI's are not that user friendly. I have very good experience in this when we are going to configure samba server, configuration is very very difficult. We have tried few time and let it go after few unsuccessful attempts. Now if we mistakenly type the address of that Linux server to access shared files, like we connect to windows file sharing servers. The windows machine who's trying to access that linux server gets restart. Windows is much easy to configure than linux. Still linux laks very rich configuration interfaces and Wizards.

    why not eh? u have to use linux and see what it really means.... no anti virus... faster... so customizerble so many apps... so many choices... ant not to mention the security!!! hehehe... well god bless all those windows users... there are so many exploits in the wild... zero day vanu... you'll all just have to depend on one company! hehe.. and know what companies want money... its simple eh?

    i got a winxp license with my lap... so i've paid for that shit already... but don't use it. know why.. cause i think that linux is much much better...

    and linux is better not because its not windows... or not because its just free(as in free beer).. but because it is free as in freedom, simply its open source and there are so many people out there improving it all the time... so its simple... any propertary os will never ever beat it cause of that... its just a matter concept... :)

    well whatever... i use linux and i am soooo happy with it... i damn hosted my own web site with a forum in it, on my lap!!! i would not have done that if it was not running linux yar...

    just look at elakiri... even its running open source! ;)

    Don't forget 90% of PC users are n00bs like me, not pro's like you. According to you definetly linux is for limited set of people. Linux can't replace windows according to what you say.

    you are correct, but I think almost all good games (not craps) are using DirectX, so if you need to play some games you can't use Linux. May be linux may be the best solution for servers but not for gamers.
    WoW!! OPENGL is much better than Directx crap;

    it may be better but it doesn't matter its better or not, most of the games are for directX not for OpenGL. So even we asume OpenGL is the best. With no games to play with it, it is useless.
    who says ?most games supports both but the thing is they are compiled for win
