You really have to give Linux a try. After a couple of months of total use, I rarely use Windows anymore. :) Hey dude. You really have to give Linux a try.

I left Windows mainly for reasons similar to the above example. It's just how the Windows OS tries to get in your face, and how Mac OS X just lets you do you thing that got me to switch. Well, there are workarounds for almost every flaw, or feature, Windows has. But since the average Windows user wouldn't even know to turn on the built-in firewall, I wouldn't expect them to look up how to disable auto-updates. Microsoft still has a lot of work ahead of them to catch up in their software's ease of use and user-friendliness. And I don't think they are too concerned with that yet. Not until they lose a big chunk of their market share. Well, at least there is some kind of work around. Hopefully Longhorn would be a decent upgrade, and make the Windows computers I come into contact with a little easier to use.

Please check mine out (and maybe link to it.) Your blog looks pretty professional and I like that it deals with engineering. Mark Hi,
