Your creative quoting left out these gem comments -
Take Linux for a test drive -- it's free, after all
Perfect for a 2nd PC, you can run it alongside Windows if you want
TRANSLATION - You still need windows as your primary computer.

for actual everyday use.
6. The biggest stumbling block you'll encounter with Linux is getting it to
