"Open"
"Community"
"Archaic Prejudices"
"Power" (read: supercomputers)
"Diversity" (both in software and the variety of devices it can execute on)

I think of my daughter screaming at me, "Daddy, I hate you! Why do I have to use this stupid Ooboontoo!! What's wrong with Windows?!?!?!?!!???"

Needless to say, it wasn't a painless transition.

Some imbecile who believes he can get everyone to use this so-called "free" software, licensed under licenses he personally cherry-picked, by forcing it upon them :D

The Arch KISS simplicity of use & the rolling release system that has me completely upgraded everyday & never having to re-install unless I lose my HDD.

No more malware or virus concerns & therefore no more maintaining brain files & doing all the things required to keep a clean machine.

Being able to get all the software I need to do everything I want to do on my machine with the exception of games (PS3 for that) for free & (as previously mentioned) upgrade it everyday or whenever I choose.

It has been so long since I've used Windows that I've forgotten about all of the pain in the neck security crap that the inventors of the closed source system foist on their beloved prisoners.
