Linux vs Windows
Don't have Vista yet but I do have 3 versions of Linux, 2 with 64-bit and 1 with 32-bit, as well as XP 32-bit. The only time I sign onto Windows is to watch and wmv video or to do double-sided printing. I have not figured out just how to do that right on Linux yet and Windows keeps the WMV 10 and above restricted. I am going to try the Wine and the other methods to emulate Windows next to see if that works. I keep a 32-bit Firefox and a 64-bit Firefox on my Linux areas so that I can watch the other videos.
Whenever I do sign onto Windows, I run my anti-malware, crap cleaner and disk cleaner before and after just in case. Then I do what I have to and go right back to Linux. It is faster, just as clean and so much easier to update and keep working - and I have not turned off my PC in 2 weeks with no problems at all.
As soon as I figure out how to do the last couple of things it will be bye bye M$ for me.
I have a printer, flash drive, CD, Wifi and have had no problems hooking them up to Linux 64-bit at all. They just found the hardware, connected and it works. Why should I pay M$ for something that doesn't work when I have a system which does almost all the same things and does it faster and cheaper and works with the equipment I have very well?
