Misinterpreted. I think that is about the best word around to describe the reactions to my previous article. Whether it has been misinterpreted due to people only reading what they want to read, due to an unclear choice of words on my behalf, or other factors, I am going to try it again. I will try to explain my position, again. Now, more stable, the code has been rewritten from scratch!

Well, I have been using Linux for a year now. I'm currently running Slack 9 and have tried just about every distro. Now I would like to bring forth my option about Linux and Window...
(with tab- autocompletion)
I'm gonna present my views as an experienced user because I don't believe in asking everyone to switch to Linux- its your choice and well, if you decide to try it, good luck with and hope you'll stay with the club!
1) Windows sux at multitasking- When you have some apps which consume a lot of resources or somthing that is heavily reading/writing files to your HD, the GUI responsiveness goes down to like 20 % Whereas in Linux, if you have a good kernel (I use the ck3 patch for 2.4.21), the GUI is about 90% responsive....low latency anyone?
2) Fun - to me, Linux is more fun because you get to play around and tweak stuff- its just my nature to mess with things and see how they work.
3) Feel Different- Hey, I can brag to my friends that I, unlike 85% of the masses, am using Linux :-D
4) Gotta love the console- do I need to say more?
So, I don't hate Windows- I respect it for it makes some stuff easier, but my "Preference" is Linux...and I use Linux 99.9% of the time.
The author of the article has done a wonderful job and I would like to thank him for the same.
"I'm a die-hard Linux user" :-D
