And seriously, who in their right mind uses linux as a primary operating system for personal use?Why, people who prefer to have complete control over their hardware and OS. People that prefer to trust in F/OSS developers than developers that work to make a profit. People that enjoy having almost unlimited capabilities regarding multimedia, graphics, audio, development, and deployment. Oh, and, people that hate to pay for an OS.
Well now.
You have more control over your hardware in Windows because Windows acctually supports it.
I can't argue about trust, but I'd rather trust someone that I'm paying to do something, then some random 18 year old geek on the internet.
And about the unlimited capabilities regarding multimedia, graphics, audio, development, and deployment...
- Multimedia, graphics, audio: Limited by hardware support and by lack of people caring\using it
- Development: Are you trying to make me laugh? Linux is by far the hardest OS to do any development on. It lacks: .NET, C#, VB, DirectX and a large development and support community.
- Deployment: Is this just so much better than on Windows because your target audience is 50000x smaller?
And lastly, no one is making you pay for anything. You have the completely free choice of paying for the OS or pirating it. (You are responsible for you own actions.)
