Well, as an MCSE with 14 years of Microsoft technical support experience, I am changing because I am sick and tired of Microsoft. I am tired of their constant inability to provide good security except with their incessent patches, their holier than thou attitude when it comes to using their software (and the EULA makes sure that you know that it is their software and you are just using it with their permission)and the constant monitoring of your system or what you are doing with it...(have you really read the EULA for their Media Player Version 9? It gives them the right to track where you go and what you download on your system. Oops, I mean their system that they are letting you use.) I for one don't need software cops watching my every move. There is enough of that without Billy Boy putting in his 10 billion dollars worth. Most people don't even read the EULA's they agree to but once you do.....you would be surprised...and possibly violated. Since Mandrake Linux provides the software necessary to communicate with the Windows world I see no reason not to change.. And I like the interface/interfaces better. My last Linux machine had several users each with different desktop interfaces (Gnome, KDE, Enlightenment, Afterstep) just so I could play with each one to discover the nuances in each (personally I like Gnome and Enlightenment from those experiments.) Yes, not everyone is a tech. All they need to do is pick one.
