Well, there is a favorite link that I like to send people to when I want to give them a few reasons to consider switching to Linux from Windows. http://aaxnet.com/editor/edit029.html The write-up is rather long but very comprehensive and it explains without a doubt why personal users and small businesses need to start creating a plan to migrate away from Windows in the next few years. If you are interested in being able to give someone some concrete reasons, he pretty much covers the bases. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
