Why Not to Buy Vista
4 "Reasons" to Dump Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Reason number one: Linux is boring. When I run Linux, I don't have
| the excitement of wondering whether an e-mail, IM, or Web page is
| going to give my system the latest worm or virus. Where's the fun in
| that?...
|
| Reason number two: Linux is a pain to set up. With Linux, you need to
| put in a CD or DVD, hit the enter button, give your computer a name,
| and enter a password for the administrator account....
|
| Reason number three: Linux is expensive. Linux is often free, but look
| at all that time you spend setting it up. Most people will end up buying
| new PCs with Vista preinstalled... It'll run me only $1,375. Of course,
| I won't get a keyboard, mouse, or monitor at that price.
|
| Reason number four: Linux doesn't have enough apps... my copy of SUSE
| Linux has only more than 100 apps. Microsoft gives
| you Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, the most popular Web browser
| and e-mail client around... even though they do have a few teeny-weeny
| security problems. Microsoft also has Office, which . . . oh, wait:
| You don't get that with Vista, do you?
