I suppose if I had an internet only machine with rudimentary word processing needs I might consider linux. Actually, I’ve got two computers collecting dust. I should try it again with one of them.

None of them have special software needs. They mostly surf the web, do email and use open office. I like not having to be bugged to clean infected systems....

Yeah. I think my wife would probably be fine with Ubuntu.

I use Photoshop, Visio, Sonar, utorrent, and even “command and conquer” and Ubuntu is just too much of a hassle. Now, if I wanted a “primarily internet surfing” machine, it might actually be worth looking into. I can always transfer stuff to my windows machine when necessary.
