    Why bother? Why do you people look to run Windows software on Unix based Craperating Systems? Use open source softwares :P

    People please don't fall for open source.....What the hell can you do with those? For the sake of trying a new OS i that Ubuntu or whatever....all i could do is stare at the desktop........Nothing more......

    So why bother with them? WINDOWS FTW!!!

    Have used RedHat, Ubuntu, Fedora.

    Pretty good.. But I reckogn the home users will be more satisfied by Windows than Open OSs. Maybe coz of the software compatibilities etc.

    wht the heck ? wht r da basic needs of a home user? safty, cheap,secured ,a basic office softwares and day to day needs , all those needs are supplied by windows besides it has money sooooo they advertise and attract ppl. thts the only thing they without charging the ppl.:angry::angry::angry::angry::angry:
