Its not just a black box. And your conscience is clean if you load programs just for the sake of learning (not for commercial use). After using it you get the feeling that you have grown, whereas with windows you get a feeling of being turned into a dependent like an addict on drugs. And yes Linux is more stable, less prone to virus attack and faster. I can experiment with linux and build on it. Its not just a black box.

How ever the use of linux as a home or office main OS has a significant cost, because although you save the 100 bucks, that Bri says, you are going to pay many times that in support, since there are not many people that can operate it beyond a simple user. So even in a simple sharing issue you have to either consult an expert or search in a forum. By all means I'm not against Linux, in fact I have it installed at home both as a server as well as a desktop but never the less when I had to decide to choose an OS for my cooperation I choose windows. Perhaps next year it will be linux. . . . Linux this days has the same, if not better, functionality with windows OS.

Checked your computer for viruses lately? Why don't you run along and do that. Hey, Booby:
