Linux is $0... Windows costs lots...

It takes me a lot of time to muck around with windows ... very little
with Linux.

Linux /saves/ time. Downloads, for one thing, are generally quite a bit
faster, at least faster than XP.

I haven't tried Vista, though I hear it has speed problems in certain
scenarious.

I wonder what savings linked bonus you have negotiated for installing

Blah, blah, blah. I don't get a bonus for doing a fairly mundane task, and
that's all this migration really is.

I thought you didn't like playground humour? A hypocrite to boot eh?

There really can be next to nothing to this migration or you have never
done one before if you're so confident.

It's next to nothing. Don't forget that what they did under Windoze was
fairly limited, so there's no big learning curve involved.

No, Frankie Boy, as usual, you're again WRONG! Linux is between 30 to 50%
faster at downloads than XP. If you had both running, you'd be able to
benchmark it and see. Trouble is, your mommy only runs a Vista computer, so
you have no way of testing this out.

Yes, really. Just ask the many who have posted and reported that in the
Vista newsgroup. Of course, Frankie Boy refused to hear any criticism of
Vista and prefers to maintain a blind adherence to the operating system
installed on his mommy's computer.

Obviously, a great deal of trouble, from
most Wintrools' standpoint. -)

Clearly Linux threatens Microsoft's dominance of the
desktop, and threatens to block Microsoft's absorbtion of
servers, phones/mobiles/laptops/notebooks, and embedded
devices.

And of course MacOSX, once Linux has been knifed, will
follow suit, probably a little more slowly but the
most likely scenario I see is Microsoft buying Apple
out, and getting into the hardware business. It will
convert Apple's hardware into high-end PC systems using
a modified Windows OS, then spin it off. For various
devices such as the iPhone -- sorry, I mean, the aZune
-- Microsoft will modify them as it sees fit, searching
for profitability.

For as everyone knows Windows Is The Best OS There Ever Was(tm).
Pay no attention to the bugs behind the curtain!

How value is my time? That is *exactly* why I use linux. Set it up
once and you're done. Add every single piece of hardware you get
and software incrementally without the whole house coming down
like windows. Put it on the network run servers and never ever
get a single byte of malware. See a file you don't recognize? The
package manager will tell you exactly where it came from.

With windows, one has to reinstall from the ground at least every other
year. More often if you play around with the system as windows is
an instable house of cards.

I keep hearing this. Can you prove it? I see no difference between
Debian, Ubuntu or XP in download speeds on the same router.
