Hello. I have recently switched from Windows to Linux. The reasons for doing so are complex but involve a deep sympathy for the ideology of open source programming and a slightly deeper disdain for Microsoft.
I cannot explain why I do not like Microsoft but I do not. As a child I grew up on Macs and switched to Windows in middle school. At first I was happy with Windows as I suddenly was able to select from a myriad of computer games. As time went by I slowly began to dislike Microsoft. This slowly grew into a hatred. However, like a lot of people, I was scared of Linux.
I don't know why I finally made the leap, but I did. I downloaded KNOPPIX and messed around with it for a little while. After I concluded that Linux wasn't that scary after all I downloaded and installed Ubuntu on my laptop and Kubuntu on my desktop. A wise or reasonable man would have chosen to set up a dual boot system, but my deep seeded animosity towards Microsoft combined with my generally impulsive nature forced me to completely reformat both computers.
My girlfriend has had issues with Linux so far. She wasn't too excited about the switch, but I can say that I haven't looked back.
