First, a little background. I am a Windows user who has been using Windows since 3.1. I am not a programmer or a developer, I am a user. I process photos, use the internet, e-mail, write letters, play the ever important games and even use it to develop my comic strips. I am not computer illiterate and I use my computer with confidence and skill. Now with that said. I hate Windows.

Too many choices?
Having choices available to us is the best thing going in the computer industry today. Just hope that no one company ever rules the entire computer world. We'd be at their mercy, and it's not likely that the outcome of such a monopoly would be good for computer users.
Experiment heavily with all the various platforms available to you then decide which one(s) to stick with. After having played around for years with various Windows systems, I dumped WinXP, and spent lots of time in BeOS, Redhat, SuSE, Mandrake, and now Slackware.
Computer users that understand and stick to only OS could find themselves somewhat handicapped, and at a severe disadvantage in the future. It's good to keep some options open, and it can't hurt any of us to expand on our technical knowledge a bit.
Do it, and you'll be glad you did.
