Why can't it be done with just a double-click? Secondly, there is a great portion of hardware not supported by Linux, for which you can't find drivers anywhere. Anyway, what you pay is what you get.LOL, you ever heard of ubuntu? There is a distro for everyone.

Windows is commercial we have to support open source because it's free, because isn't bad. The most of people who "went" definitely to linux won't return to Windows. Future is for open source(Y).
AH! are you worried in security? LINUX haven't VIRUS

My boyfriend just recently introduced me to Linux. I don't know ANY commands so I just get him to install anything I need since it's a bit complicating. I've always been a Windows fan and I'm hoping to get Windows 7 and have that and OpenSuse on my computer. My only complaint about Linux, other then all the commands, is that I can't play some games on it.
I bought Sims 3 several months ago, but by that point my PSU fried taking my Hard drive with it. The fix? New PSU, new hard drive (which I won 150 free gis and ended up with a 650 one, so can't complain) and Linux. Originally my computer came with windows XP media edition, but we've tried everything to get it back and can't.

I prefer Windows just because it has more available software and drivers, gaming is also a plus.

If Linux was bundled with more computers then it'd be cool. The only reason people use Windows is because it's there.
You can run Windows programs in Linux, even photoshop! in Wine. But you can't run Linux in Windows.
Linux is FREE, and you can do more things, the internet is run off linux.
But i use Windows 90% of the time, Backtrack 10%.
meh..
RE: Linux Vs. Windows - Zomaian - 12-29-2009
Windows by a long shot. Linux is alright and they got brilliant ideas but the problem is that no one owns the rights to it making it a open software. If no one has the rights to it its hard to make money of it because if Ubuntu starts charging money than people will just Use Mint or any other Linux version that is close to Ubuntu. Without any money its hard for those projects to grow or make any money.
Linux communities and projects depend on donations and Linux lovers and that isn't enough to compete with paid software and especially with Microsoft or Apple.

Wine is simply an emulator at the end of the day.
Now you could also install linux along side windows so you dont have to reboot pc.
andLinux its called.
