[Sarcasm] Top 10 Reasons not to Use Ubuntu

,----[ Quote ]
| I played around with Ubuntu this weekend and I have been really impressed by 
| everything, but I know many people still want to use a Windows desktop. So I

| 
|    2. Installation of Software is Too Easy...
| 
|    3. Too Few Viruses/Too much security...

11 reasons to use Linux instead of Windows

,----[ Quote ]
| Run thousands of great pieces of software that only run on Linux. 
| Just like Windows, Linux has software that doesn't run on Windows.
| Great pieces of software like Amarok, Bluefish, Neverball, Gnumeric,
| K3B, Beryl, gdesklets, and MythTV.  I know this is a chicken-and-egg
| point, where Windows has the exact same situation. Too often I hear
| "I can't switch to Linux because it doesn?t run [insert Windows
| software]".  My reason for pointing it out is just to make it clear
| that this is a two-way street.
