I don't want to... (Score 1)

It's quite simple really. I avoid windows because I don't want to deal with Viruses, Spyware, and the general security nightmare that is known as Windows (how apropos the name is, Physical windows are easy to break, and so is the MS ..product) I don't want to have to deal with IRQs, DMAs, Addressing, Drivers, and a seemingly unstoppable _flood_ of hotfixes because MS coders can't seem to write decent code. I don't want to deal with the cost every time I need to upgrade. I don't want to deal with a bloated registry. I don't want to deal with swap files and systems that never seem to quiet down even if they've been idle for a day (What the hell is it DOING when nobody is using it anyway?) I don't want to deal with SMB networks. I don't want to deal with bloated office applications that seem to slow down the entire system every time I change the font size. I don't want to deal with activating my system everytime I upgrade a minor hardware component. I don't want to deal with windows... I don't want to deal with Linux either for that matter, but that's a different story.
