Simple for me...
Mickeysoft is easy to install, easy to use and it crashes a lot.
Linux is a bit harder, it *forces* you to really learn what your computers are
doing and it does not crash a lot unless you did something silly where
Mickeysoft dumbs it down to the point where you don't have to know anything.
The critical point for me is in control...
I install and manage complex systems for a living so I want control!
With Mickeysoft I get none! I never know what's happening under the hood so if
it breaks I have to wait for them to fix it.
With Linux, if it's broke I can fix it that day, or not, and I know what's going
on and why! With Linux I am completely empowered to the limit of my personal
ability. With Mickeysoft I have no power, no decision making to do what ever and
I definitely am not in control of my own machines. Mickeysoft knows best...
right?
Oh and one more thing... the price is right and I can do all the stuff with
Linux that I ever wanted to do with Mickeysoft products!
