Linux is NOT Windows

    If you want an OS that doesn't chauffeur you around, but hands you the 
    keys, puts you in the driver's seat, and expects you to know what to do: 
    Get Linux. You'll have to devote some time to learning how to use it, but 
    once you've done so, you'll have an OS that you can make sit up and dance.

    If you really just want Windows without the malware and security issues: 
    Read up on good security practices; install a good firewall, malware-
    detector, and anti-virus; replace IE with a more secure browser; and keep 
    yourself up-to-date with security updates. There are people out there 
    (myself included) who've used Windows since 3.1 days right through to XP 
    without ever being infected with a virus or malware: you can do it too. 
    Don't get Linux: It will fail miserably at being what you want it to be.

    If you really want the security and performance of a Unix-based OS but 
    with a customer-focussed attitude and an world-renowned interface: Buy an 
    Apple Mac. OS X is great. But don't get Linux: It will not do what you 
    want it to do.
