I've been trying Linux on and off for a couple of years. My first experience with Linux was with a version of Slackware (can't remember) way back in 1996. At the time the installation was so daunting that I gave up all together. For a little background I consider myself a proficient computer user.

No, my dear friend. I've not been brainwashed by Linux Zealots. I've been working with MS products since DOS 3.3. Back then, life was good. MS actually had great products. And IF MS did its job the right way I would've been rooting for them. But Windows' absolutely abhorrent security and privacy holes, combined with the information MS leeches from everyone's computers, has made me look into real and viable alternatives. Linux as a OS has its shortcomings, yes. But in much ways blows Windows from here to Hades. My data and my computer are MINE, not Billy G's. And that, my friend, is what I'm looking for. IF MS where any other company, and its practices better I would remain complacent with Windows. But this is not so. I welcome the freedom to choose, a freedom that MS seems to want to take away to fill Billy G's and Steve B. coffers. I refuse.
