I want to kickoff by reminding, that WHY questions are rarely useful, it is what small kidz are asking, when they want to learn, how to argue with adults. ;-) But approaching the topic some more, let me add: As a former developer, i came to linux quite late, and although my willingness to learn was huge, i found it not exactly easy to switch. At least, i can say: "I do not regret a single bit following my decision to change, and i can do more things now, than what i could do at the time with an MS OS. But it is also true, that i just spoke with an old friend (aged 75+) who is quite desperate about new ways of windows/Bing and the upcoming launch of a new version. Honestly, i did not dare recommending linux to him, because that would make me a full time supporter for years to come, as he fails to show ownership of his decisions. He really just surfes the web and uses email at times, but ... his thinking about how computers _should_ work feels somewhat out of sync with reality. just my 2 cents, DdB
