Jump to PostLinux -> Why not
Windows -> Why
:cheesy:
Well I guess it depends on what kind of user you are. To sum it up I will simply post the following:
==
Need lots of software only out for Windows and you don't care about license fees …
Jump to PostI miss some options:
3) neither
4) both
5) among othersAt current I use Windows, Linux, and AIX almost every day and occasionally SCO.
In the past I've used Solaris, HP Ux, OS/6000, Guardian, OS/2, and others.Seems you just want to start another OS war...

Jump to PostLinux makes a good server. As for desktop, I don't really like it. Some people really prefer Linux over windows for good reason, others just use it because it's a way to bash M$.
I dual boot Windows Xp and Madrake 9, but I rarely use Mandrake.
Jump to PostWant security, stability, and the ability to participate in the open source community (as well as reap the open source program benefits) -> Linux
You'll think security and stability when people start targeting linux.
Jump to PostPlease, no more "Linux is better than Windows" or "Windows is better than Linux" arguments!
They're pointless! And they lead to insults being thrown around. Topic closed.
