Because i can efficiently do whatever i used windoze for! I'm migrating all my company network to mdk boxes and i don't have any M$ servers right now.. which cut off all the downtime for their unpredictable slow downs and hanging! On the desktop side i have only MDK installed in many PCs... and those users don't call me to ask me how to make their box work for more than 10 minutes without rebooting... which is a continuos struggle with those who still have windoze! (as u might have guessed i'm part of the IT staff).
