Except at work where I am forced to use Windows XP, I don't touch
Microsoft Windows anymore. My home systems all run Debian GNU/Linux
as do my family systems that I am responsible for. On my way into
work this morning I was thinking of why I don't use Windows anymore.
- Debian is easier to use than Windows
- Debian is much cheaper than Windows
- Debian is much more secure than Windows
- Debian has more useful software than Windows and it's easier
to install
When you think about this list it is a very similar list to what
Windows users say when someone suggests they upgrade to Linux,
except their list is inverted (except the security - even Windows
users know that Windows is insecure).
I do not think I could ever go back to using Windows now, which
is interesting considering that I used Windows before Linux and
for a longer time span.
