Look, Linux is great and I enjoy it. But saying that "you do everything that Winders-users can" is a load of crap. I would love to be able to live without Windows, but alas, I cannot.

OK, I can't run games like Windows can, but since I'm not a gamer, it's a moot point. Regarding Photoshop, why would I want to? I've got the GIMP. No I can't use an 8X AGP card, but that's really only an advantage for games; I'm stuck with a 4X AGP card; can you customize your desktop the way I can mine? How often do you shell out $$$ for new software that crashes regularly? I rarely have a problem getting a device to work; I wish that would have been true when I was running Windows; I mean, it only makes sense that a dedicated device driver should just allow you to use the device you've just installed, right? Not in the wonderful world of Windows; 9 times out of 10, it'll crash your computer, and frequently it'll crash it to the point of having to do a complete re-install; that has never happened to me since I started using Linux. Oh, yeah, by the way: I have absolutely no formal training; I taught myself how to use Linux, with the help of the open-source community; Y' can't do that with Windows.
