Is there life after Windows?

,----[ Quote ]
| Linux is free, easy-to-use and is shedding its geeky image, thanks to fans 
| who prefer it to Microsoft's mighty operating systems. But is it for 
| everyone? Jamie Merrill asks four rookies to put it to the test  
| 
| [...]
| 
| "If you talk to a lot of Windows users and ask them what they use, they 
| say, 'I'm using Firefox and OpenOffice,' and if you boot up, say, Linux 
| Ubuntu, a community-developed, Linux-based operating system created for 
| laptops, desktops and servers, both those tools are there, so it's familiar 
| territory, totally safe and free. So the question should 'why not use 
| Linux?'".
