Switching to Linux is *EASIER* than switching to Windows 8. I put Mint on a laptop for my wife, who is NOT an IT person, and it took her about 5 seconds to learn. Mint uses a GUI that is as close to Windows 7 as can be and far easier to use than 8. I had to get rid of Windows 8 on a new laptop for my son because of driver issues. It now dual boots to 7 and Mint. Mint was very easy to load, but 7 took a couple days to hunt down all the drivers :( For an added bonus, Mint can run from the boot media, so you can try it before you install it.

I think Java is sponsored by Oracle (who bought SunSoft) so don't think it's tied to the Microsoft upgrade program. But I don't know anything anymore, having left all that behind in search of the perfect taco. I do think switching to Linux would be difficult for many people. Heck, it would be difficult for me, and my first computer was a PDP-11 that required me to enter the boot sequence in Hexadecimal by pushing the right buttons in the right order. uh-oh. I have chicken on the barby. Gotta go. Oh me-oh my-oh, wont'cha look at Miss Ohio...
