*sigh* so much crap being spouted in this thread but then given the title and opening post I'm not surprised.

I used Linux for 2 years, came back to Windows XP for gaming and will return to Linux when I've had my fill. Never, ever had any stability issues. It is more secure in that you don't need any malware software.

Any serious users please ignore BluePlum who is clearly acting their age. Their gay comment proves that without having to bother reading any of their other posts. Why exactly would anyone want to run an exe under Linux anyway? It's a Windows file format. Kind of like trying to run your petrol car on diesel.

I do like how you are blaming him as if he did something wrong, maybe you would be so courteous as to not be so ignorant towards members and entire communities next time

I have issued an infraction and will keep an eye on Blueplum. I will also remove the reference in his sig

blueplum, be careful. I will not hesitate to ban you if i feel you are being a nuisance. You may think it is funny to laugh at your infraction now but i've banned many users who have come back afterwards pleading forgiveness and not being able to explain why they acted like they did, claiming they got swept up in the moment.
Dont be another one of them!

Eh, to tell you the truth, both linux and windows are good. Windows is mainstream and pretty much everyone knows how to use it. It isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Don't get me wrong though, i would never pay to use it, but it's good for the average joe.

Me, i love linux. I love the customizability (yes, new word) of it. I like being able to make it work exactly how i like it, even though it requires some work. You get a kind of satisfaction out of making something work which didn't before. I also like how it is open souce so i can recompile the kernel and do any modifications to it like adding support for certain hardware. Also it's cool to run an OS that was made by volunteers.

I loved Ubuntu for some time, it seemed so ''accessible'' to me as unexperienced user, but then again I felt I need something more accessible although I was becoming better and better...it's somehow not helping to know that most people are on Windows and you are on Ubuntu, like 15 years old boy acting some1 smart using Linux OS?
So I switched,but planning to use it again soon...very soon.
Btw Plummy, who says I was joking? now I'm satisfied as no longer people can read what your sig was pointing to... But please why are you acting that way?
