Response to: Different perspective

I have had my own computer for about 5 years now. My dad put it together for me. After the first year or so, it wouldn't boot up. After a little trouble shooting, my dad did a virus scan. I had somewhere over 1000 viruses. Since then, I have learned quite a bit more about computers. I have had about 3 viruses since then , and have used Opera as a web browers. Windows XP SP1 hasn't crashed on me yet, but I do need to reset from time to time. I really don't mind, because Windows is so simple to use. Linux is cool, but I'm not ready to give up the easy days of not caring. Since I'm 16, the majority of my time is spent playing video games. The game installs in just a few minutes and plays fine. I see no advantage of using Wine to play on Linux. It doesn't matter how in-depth an OS is if you don't want to take the time and really learn it. Most people use a computer for a bit of internet, dreaded AOL instant messenger, and email. That's why Bill can get so many people to use his software. My mom has trouble sending pictures with Outlook Express, there's no way could live with Linux.
