As a system administrator, I have used Windows on the desktop since 2.0 and used to run Windows XP at home for my family. I use Linux and Windows servers at work and prefer (Red Hat) Linux for its security, stability and usefulness in a company with a diminishing IT budget. More than a year ago I started experimenting with Linux as a desktop solution and after installing and using more than 7 different distros along with many various versions of those distros, I found a distro that is doing everything its suppose to do, right out of the box. I'm talking about the pleasantly suprising
Lindows 4.0.
Ok I give you that, but with spending $100 for Home, $200 Pro, you still don't get discounts on commercial products, your not getting a download service were you can download upgrades to the OS for free(I'm not talking about patches, I'm talking about OS upgrades). If you lose or break your XP cd/restore cd you cant just go to the manufactures site and download a new cd image. But at anyrate that wasn't necessarily my point, my point is if you use Linux support Linux.
