plus you know charge 200 dollars for an OS and try to collect from someone who makes that in a week. they kinda respect thier money and dont want to spend it foolishly. now take someone who was raised by a father that was raised by parents that lived during the great depression you'll understand why i am cheap. Another thing i want to be able to buy expensive hardware like video card and such and cant because i paid 200 or 300 for the OS. yeash get a clue Billy Boy!

mostly because of the fact that there are NOT more viruses for Linux than MS Windows.
i know the fact is that there are many more viruses for windows then for linux. but i just didnt understand why.
now that you have explained it to me it makes sense.

i switched to linux cuz ms was getting to boring and to much of a hassle to scan every sunday for viruses and adware and defrag and all that time wasted on bs that i could have been using to compute. beside linux is more challenging to me cuz its new.

I switched cuz I was tired of my computer crawling all the time. Things that should only take two minutes, end up taking a whole thirty minutes. Which is why I hate it whenever I use a Windows computer, it gets so frustrating.
