    scarabin, firstly linux isn't any less user friendly than windows or osx.

    but, as for reasons...choice, stability, security, cost, power.

    and, to this day, the only program i can't find a comparable app for is flash.

    office, graphics/publishing, web, email, etc...

    my question is why pay $300 for an operating system that a) is easily exploited by viri and spyware, b) lacks proper security features, c) requires expensive additional software to do anything (office for another $400+) d) doesn't give you a choice to optimize your system for your hardware or usage, e) doesn't care about you, as a user.

    the list goes on and on. in the end, after giving up windows i've never looked back.

    so far, i can't see a reason TO use it.
