I have to disagree with Juan about Windows being easier to use than Linux. For several decades I worked at a university where XP was installed on all machines so I could use it as I liked. But I bought my own PC and installed Linux (initially Mandrake, then Mandriva, now Debian) because: 1. KDE was (is) far, far easier to use than the XP desk top; 2. The apps I needed to get my work done (kile, R, gretl) worked much, much better with Linux than with XP; 3. Microsoft is a quasi monopoly (I'm an economist so I hate monopoly). I don't know very much about the technical side of either OS. I just know which is easier to use and which helps me get my work don.
