"Also, I would like to see real conservatives put their money where their mouth is, and leave the leftist, communist organization that is Microsoft. Yes, I do understand that some Linux developers/distros are not much better, but I am not giving them any financial support. " What cost aside from the OS itself? As for me, years ago, by the grace of God, I bought a upgrade at New Egg from XP to W/8 for $29 after the rebate, which upgrade somehow was on the Retail channel thus enabling transfers, and with free upgrades from 8 to 8.1 and then to 10 and now 11, then the license has gone thru 3 rigs.

Of course, Linux users need not pay for anything, including illegal codecs which used(?) to be an issue with some of the conscientious. However, while I have tried my every Linux distrto, and installed Mint for a brother is used daily on an older but capable (4.2 Ghz CPU) rig, yet as explained, I do not switch to Linux since there is no need, as the time it would take to attain the level of functionality and enhancements I can easily obtain under Windows (which I thereby find more functional, despite MS attempts to improve it) is not yet warranted. Thank God for options and tools however.
