Re:The main reason (Score 1)

I dual boot on a fairly low spec laptop in both Ubuntu 9.04 and Windows XP. I still haven't *quite* convinced my wife to fully migrate because I/we cannot find an acceptable iTunes client (although SongBird is getting there)... ...but thats IT! There is nothing else that ties us to Windows. From power on to browsing with Firefox: Windows 300+ seconds, Ubuntu 60 seconds - no contest I fail to understand why anyone would actually pay for an OS?
