Nonsense! With Windows you are always plagued with viruses and you always have to worry about if the update from Microsoft will cost you a couple days work. For peace of mind you are better off running linux. The less contact with Microsoft you have the smoother things will be.
Windows updates are smooth, easy, and keep the computer running flawlessly. Microsoft Security Essentials keeps out the malware, unless you’re an idiot and deliberately click on porn links and invite it in. Windows security has improved tremendously since the late 90’s.
Windows has 90% of the market. Linux has 1%. Like I said, its a great hobby OS and lots of fun to play with.
Last night I finally had it and decided to switch to Linux. I have a three year old PC that have a couple of 250 Gig hard drives. My plan is to reformat one of the drives and make my system boot one with Linux and the other with XP.
Where can I go to get my feet wet? Is this plan feasible? Suggestions
