My own experience has never born out any of the above. 1. When I first
started I could not find a free version. And those early distros often
did not have drivers for my hardware. But then PS/2 didn't either.
2. I've never had any stability problems since 98 so could not see any
stability improvement. 3. Likewise performance. And network
friendliness. And speed. And especially ease of installation. And
multi tasking.
As for open source I don't care about that. It might be of interest to
those who want to play with the code, but not to me. I go back and
play with some Linux distro when I a m bored, and soon I just
reinstall Windows exclusively.
I will acknowledge that my opinions are just that, opinions. To me of
the two alternatives to Windows, Linux and Mac, Mac is a better deal
except that they are much more expansive than PCs.
