I've used every flavor of Windows from 3.0 through NT and they all crash the same. I've gotten more blue screens than I can count. And viruses... it seems like their is no way to avoid them with any M$ product. With Linux, however, I haven't had a system crash in THREE YEARS and I actually have some viri stored on my drive, just for the hell of it. With Linux I can cut the fat from my kernel and recompile it for my proccesor, I've never had a faster OS, Windows 95 on the other hand required me to wipe the drive and reinstall everything every three months or so, just to keep the system working at a decent speed. Linux isn't for everyone, yet, but anyone who has kept up with some of the recent releases such as SuSE or Mandrake can see that Linux is rapidly becoming easier to install and use. Given a couple more years, Linux will have M$ on it's knees.
