That's a very personal matter... But I'll give you my quick top-5: (didn't think of it for a long time, so please don't take it too serious)
First of all, M$ is about money, Linux is about quality and consumer/user-needs. Linux distro's and most of the applications are FREE! Windows is kinda standard, with a lot of different looks if you please, linux is about tweaking the system for your own desires. Windows is ordinar and almost everybody uses it, Linux is a challenge ;-) Portability of file-formats isn't a really big issue anymore. I managed to run M$Office, macromedia flash etc on my Linux-box, which I needed for school. While using Linux, it's very easy to learn how your computer works, while windows keeps those things hided (which is not a bad case for most users, but I find it rather annoying) On Sun, 2003-06-08 at 00:07, Cody Harris wrote: > Can someone come up with a few good reasons to switch from XP to > Linux?
