"1) You shouldn’t switch to Linux because… you actually enjoy paying for an operating system that is so mired with bugs and issues that it shouldn’t be even released as an alpha build. What recession?

2) You shouldn’t switch to Linux because… change is always scary. Look at Obama, he scares the **** out of me. I voted for him but he always talks about change and change is always scary even if that change will make things better.

3) You shouldn’t switch to Linux because… the only thing you use your computer is to play games. I mean people still use computer for anything other than games?

4) You shouldn’t switch to Linux because… You love to dedicate one whole day of your week just for scanning purposes. Anti-virus scan – Spyware Scan – Defragmentation scan – Registry Scan & defrag. What Fun!

5) You shouldn’t switch to Linux because… You love to pay for Anti-virus/spywares (with yearly subscription renewal) for protection that the OS should provide you in the first place. Even though Windows Defender does a fabulous job, its just not there yet.

6) You shouldn’t switch to Linux because… most people use Windows. If most people use windows it must be good!

7) You shouldn’t switch to Linux because… you realize that nothing lasts forever. Eventually your windows will succumb to a BSOD, while Linux has its version of kernel panic, you might have to wait couple of years to experience it, if at all.

8) You shouldn’t switch to Linux because… you LOVE Internet Explorer and you can only use the latest version of Internet explorer on windows. Imagine going online without IE?

9) You shouldn’t switch to Linux because… you have to be a geek to use Linux and we all know that geeks don’t have girlfriend.

10) Last but not least. You shouldn’t switch to Linux because… you don’t what to be a conformist and do what everyone tells you to do. You want to be unique, which is why you want to use windows. Oh wait…"

Oh thank god! I thought that you were some geek who worked for microsoft!

To all those Gamers out there:
Linux games may be crap (shoot me die hard linux fans,) but with tinkering you can get MOST windows games to run well under wine. I personally cant be bothered, but my meda pc will run linux, and so does my pc that i use for word docs, etc (boring stuff.)

But, if you have time on your hands, why not. It also works on Mac, so now those mac users out there can actually play windows games!

Statistics also show that most windows games that can run under wine will run at a higher frame rate then on windows!

What are you waiting for? Make the switch NOW!

The only thing I need to make the complete switch is an Imgburn equivalent for Linux, which I'm sure you guys would love to tell me of one such good program

I could not disagree more...let him do something first. THEN, you can say that.
Besides, isn't this a technical forum? please leave politics out.

Lighten up, we endured enough pain with your boy for 8 years! We are entitled to the excitement.
