1. Windows is not reliable (frequent crashes).


At one time this was true. Perhaps you don't remember the Blue Screen of
Death?

2. Windows uses too many resources.


Well, Linux has kept many older computers from filling up landfills. I
use an old P1 as a dedicated router/firewall.

3. I don't like Bill Gates.


Never met the man, so I can't say, but how many people use Windows
because they like Bill Gates?

4. Micrsoft is an evil empire.


In many ways it is. Ever here of the Microsoft Tax? If it bit you, I
don't think you would like it.

5. Windows could never understand my inner creativity and genius (also
used by incurable Apple users).


Oh well, us geniuses are never understood. ;-)

6. Linux is free.


Something wrong with that? But I don't use Linux because it's free. Due
to the above MS tax, I have copies of most MS OS including Vista, funny
but I never use them, ever.

Look, I prefer Linux, you don't, so what? I'm not trying to cram Linux
down your throat. I just wish Microsoft would stop trying to cram their
product down my throat.
