					<description>My father in law is one of those sorts that uses the web browser and thats about it.  He's interested in turning it on, and it 'just working'.  He's been known to tinker with wallpaper and screensavers, but thats about it. He brought me a badly mamed Windows ME Compaq a while ago that he had misplaced the restore CD for.  The Malware was so thick, I couldn't even get it started enough to try and clean it.  I decided the best thing to do was wipe it clean.  I had an old Windows 98 first edition CD I gave him, but thought I'd try dual booting it with Ubuntu, just so he could check out Ubuntu.  He took to Ubuntu quickly, but used Windows mostly until his printer died and it was time to get a new one.  

When he got the new printer home, he had all kinds of grief getting it installed and working in Windows, so he switched over to Ubuntu, and low and behold!  It was auto-detected and worked w/out any configuration.

He hasn't booted windows since.

I love that my non-geek father-in-law is using linux because its 'easier'.</description>

					<description>When I have to use a Windows-only application, I use a Windows virtual machine running in VMWare Workstation on my Gentoo box.  Performance is a slight lag for big resource-intensive Windows apps, but I can deal with it knowing it is temporary pain while I'm using Windows -- that's almost a Pavlovian response/expectation anyway when venturing back into Windows from Linux.

Funny article -- thanks for the reminder why I don't run Windows on any of the many systems on my home network!

					<description>I use Gentoo. Beats Windows XP in every way. Fastest I've ever gotten is 15 seconds to boot, 15 seconds to get logged in to KDE. My Windows XP boot takes around a minute and a half, then three minutes to load antivirus, antispyware, JPG desktop background, and the rest of the standard Windows crap.</description>

					<description>When I was ready to give up Windows 95, I took a plunge and bought a Windows ME machine and immediately set it up to dual boot Red Hat 7.0.  Eventually, I 'upgraded' ME to XP and Red Hat through Fedora Core 1.  Then I just dumped XP and made the machine Linux only.  I forget which distro-- might have been Libranet...

Anyway, I found the article amusing and relatively true to my experience.  Windows XP on my wife's computer seems to run OK.  I've got it behind a firewall and keep it patched, and she's not running an email program on it-- she uses web-based email through her office if she ever needs to email from home.  So it's performed pretty well.  But whenever I have to use it, it always finds a way to annoy me.  

The old Win. ME machine is now a file server running Libranet 2.8. I bought Linux pre-installed (SuSE, but now Ubuntu) on my current workstation and it is always a pleasure to use.  Hardware stays installed.  Programs uninstall or install easily with synaptic.  I use the Gimp, OpenOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, xemacs, gaim, gramps, picasa, bzflag, etc. and they all just work everytime.  My machine never crashes, and Ubuntu has a fantastic update service.

It was definitely worth the effort to learn about Linux.  Thanks for the laugh.
