Salutation

Non je vais pas changer sous Windows
En plus je utulise Windows piraté donc je m'enfou si il est devenu FREE
Note : Je utulisais Windows au passé.

Merci

LINUX FOR NOW!

Open Source is like a religious experience so there is no going back, it is no longer an option. How can I unknow the truth of being able to configure my system my way!

oh and I save a lot not needing to have the virus's cleaned out of my daughters laptop!

No , because Windows is innately insecure and unstable. I don't trust my private data on one , period.

I would have more windows boxes than i do, were that the case. it certainly wouldn't replace Linux any more than Linux has replaced windows for me.

Re: Would you switch to Windows if it becomes free of cost and leave Linux?

The cost is not the only reason for choosing Linux.
Personnally i think that it's the last reason. What do you think about the real reason fior choosing this OS :
- reliability
- strength
- security
- flexibility
- evolutive
- professional
- ....


The answer for me is :
why should i choose to use the copycat OS when i can use the original one which invented the concept (being stolen by M$)

I completely agree with MaWaLeto.

On another hand we don't really need to switch to Windows as we got all these virtual machines now so we can use Linux and Windows at the same time

Cheers

Re: Would you switch to Windows if it becomes free of cost and leave Linux?

the ideologie of the Linux OS is attractive not linux itself.Many users will try free OS but anyone would feel as free as in linux OS.
Many people have the illusion that using windows is so simple ,but this simplicity involves lack of creativity and imagination.this is what i understood by switching to LInux .
Thank you whom gave from their precious time.

Windows is already free of cost to me and I use it (windows 7) just to update my cars tomtom gps device. Shame on tomtom, they use lot of GPL codes but the only OSs you can update with are windows and mac.

PS. Do you know that Dutch people dry toilet paper so they can use it at least 3 times?

Linux runs faster and does more, at least on here

That said, I dual boot for games
