Default Re: OT: Why Oh Why

In your case it might not that interesting to change since you don't seem to have older equipment and you get your windows cheap. But here (Belgium) a license costs a lot of money as does all the other software. So why would i want to spend so much money on an OS, an office suite and some tools (winzip, parition tool and so on) when you can get that all for free?

I rather use that money for something else. Linux isn't harder than windows to maintain. It might take you longer in the beginning if you don't know the os so basically you go through the same learning curve as when you switched from dos to win.

But you are right when you say they both have their uses.
