    Windows and linux will be on equal footing for stability and security...

    Microsoft is compelled by their business plan to churn their user base ever year or two with new versions of their OS products. As we have seen with the introduction of Windows XP, each new version will introduce a new set of security and stability problems. Therefore it is very unlikely that Windows will ever match Linux stability or security.

    So linux is free, which is great, but what else?

    For me freedom is enough.
