Hi all. I do not want to start a discussion of windows vs linux but some things simply needs a correction.

Windows also has an installer system and dependencies must only be installed once, too. > *About bluescreen, antivirus, etc* > Linux don't have bluescreen. But Linux has Kernel Panics. A bluescreen normaly shows that your system has a problem. Either some hardware failed or you have a problem with the drivers. So it is not a generic Windows problem. > In Linux, you don't need an antivirus. In the german users maillist was a discussion about that topic and some people had the opinion, that an antivirus for pure linux systems is also usefull. My recommendations are a little different. If someone does not know Linux and does not have anyone near who can help, then I would not suggest to use Linux. (As long as there are some things that you really want to do!) Start with a VM if possible. When you found out, how everything you need works on Linux, then you found the right time to switch to Linux. And also be aware: Windows 7 support ends quite soon. So users will have to switch sooner or later which will include a new behavior of the operating system. So it could be a good time to check out Linux.
