Again another reason to dump Windows

Following years of having to download patch after and being besieged by viruses, worms and spyware I cannot see why anyone in their right mind would go and pay a minimum of £154 for an Operating System that has been scaled back considerably and still 3 years or so behind schedule. The writings on the wall for Vista and it doesn’t look good. The alternatives are much better. OS X and Linux offer something different and are much better in their own respective ways. But when it comes to price you can’t argue. With OS X for £90 you get an operating system that’s far more advanced and more intuitive then Windows will ever be and many times more secure. And then there is Linux. The cost is nominal (unless you go for a commercial product like Suse et al.) and with its usability getting better all the time. I think its time for people to seriously look at the alternatives. You’ll be a fool not to!!!!
