Thread: Windows vs. Linux

-

i've been trying linux on , off past several years. jaunty jackalope release seems pretty decent far limited capabilities can appreciate.

thing this... why there arguing whether run windows or linux? configured dual boot machine in mere minutes xp pro install on top of installed jackalope. can run either os select @ boot time.

know looked down upon here, i, well, windows. think xp stable, reliable , easy use. have xp machines haven't rebooted in weeks , won't need reboot many more, not huge deal if have reboot them.

linux, i'm no near competent in using it. bought big, thick ubuntu linux "bible" type book yesterday , accomplished many things first night. seeing windows xp running in vbox on ubuntu victory me. many times i've run ubuntu inside windows or itself, never successful running windows inside of ubuntu until last night.

no 1 down on dual booting, lot of people that.

use linux following reasons:
- installs hardware drivers out of box
- has of software need out of box (my prefered browser, im, office software, etc)
- fast , stable
- free

few reasons. being said still use windows development. wouldn't worry other people say, use whatever see best fits task @ hand.
