Even if it is crash and burn time, I don’t care because I dumped Microsoft for Linux when Vista came out. I figured if Microsoft was going to force me to learn a new interface, it might as well be something less aggravating, more secure, require less maintenance and be more inexpensive in the long run.

Since then I have not worried about copy protection, have not bought an anti-virus package, have not spent hours scanning the hard drive with multiple programs to clean off a host of viruses and malware, have not had ANY issues of any kind, and oh, by the way, Linux is free.

I can run pretty much any kind of generic program I need, except for some Apple-specific programs such as iTunes. In summary, I have no regrets fleeing Microsoft captivity. In fact, it has been a pleasure. The Microsoft world can end without me!
