I wish there were more software for Linux... but most things that I really need are already there.
And it is so easy to install Ubuntu. I had much more problems installing Windows 7 and Vista (of course they install just fine if you format your hard drive). And you can even install Ubuntu from Windows using WUBI. Although the latter is not a very good solution, but it is very easy for newbies.
After using Ubuntu successfully, I started thinking that Linux is great and M$ just has a huge marketing budget.
I can't imagine not only google, but even this web-site running on Windows servers

Esar, thanks for the interesting story
For the serious and dedicated computer users, i would believe that Linux beats the sh*t out of M$ as*es
At the same time, me and my (professioinal) work environment are all still on winxp (released in ~ August 2001 *ggggg*) and it is quite easy to use, fast and quite modest in its requirements (Pentium 300MHz, ~1GB hdd space, 64MB RAM.
Compare with Ubuntu requirements ), actually as modest as Windows 2000 (released in ~1999). and it helps a lot with Real Rhapsody and stuff
In the past 6 months i purchased a host of software programs (tools, mini applications) in order to support financially their further development. And guess what, none of them is available as Linux version!
When i really need or want something, then i TAKE IT. I guess that as yet i havent really felt the urge or need to cope with Linux trouble.. hehe.
ps. "Esar" = SR
