Cost-of-ownership is different for everyone of course, but despite

My main point is that MS has been very successful at making you
feel the
way you do.
I don't want to pretend that I'm not susceptible to marketing, as I
am as much as the next person. But in this case I don't believe it's
something that is MS's doing. I have made a few serious attempts to
use Linux and found it a great sink-hole of time. It was either
because some devices weren't working properly or not supported
altogether or the software I needed wasn't available in easy to
install modules, if it was available in the first place. I have used
Linux for work and it's great if you have a full-time sys-admin that
makes sure everything works. Then again, that's true for Windows too.
