I've used Linux for a while (Ubuntu 7.04-9.04 BETA) and it was really cool at first but after a while I just couldn't stand it. I'm a windows guy I've used windows for all my life and I'm used to it. What I can't stand about Linux is how I can't run windows programs on it and most of software used today is for windows. Ubuntu may be very secure but IMO windows doesn't have all that bad security, if you don't do stupid stuff. All my years of using windows I have never had a bad virus at all; the worst was some spy ware that would mess with links.
