[E. Pluribus Unum]

But unlike you guys, I dont need to post articles telling you how stupid it is to use Linux or how goofy it is to use OSX.

Could you please show where I said that?

I only said that this might be a good time for some home users with XP to move to Linux. A lot of home users only browse the web and send email.

Plus, a lot of XP computers do not have the hardware resources to run Windows 8, which is the only version now available. You can either throw the computer away and buy a new one, or run Linux if all you do is surf the web and send email.

Exactly

Putting a new Windows on an older computer is not going to work. They normally just did not have the RAM and HDD space to make that possible, or even a good idea.
