PC - Try Linux - View Post

Well, for what it is worth:
I have been windows-free (at home and in my own office) for around six years now. I still have to use windows quite a lot when I do work on client premises though. At this point, MS would have to provide something truly epic to entice me back.

Linux is always going to be something you love or hate - simply because it requires a very different approach to the Windows one. The choice is also very dependent on what you do with your PC. I am a programmer by trade and an amateur musician by night - so my usage is probably quite different to someone that just surfs the 'net, and plays games.

For my purposes, Linux is just so much better.
For a PC gamer, Windows is just so much better.

Aside from this, I am surprised that nobody had mentioned WINE on this thread yet.
