To counterattack the lies that PaidMicro$oftShills keep spreading, it is gaining wider and wider success the argument that neither Windows is.

For instance Windows doesn’t provide with a centralized trusted repository system for third parties, which forces you to search for programs to install and upgrade on the Internetz, where you are going to download viruses.

Also, Windows forces you to search for drivers to make your devices work (or does it?). While Linux just (sorta) works. When it doesn’t, you can still, you know, search on the Internetz and compile some experimental modules, unless, of course, a change in the API/ABI didn’t break them in the meantime; since they’re experimental they would probably panic your kernel (sometimes even stable drivers do): your desktop will freeze, but at least it will be a silent death.

In fact, Windows BSoDs in your face just when you are watching Flash pr0n; since Flash support for Linux blows, you’re safe and anyway YouDontNeedThat.

A Windows user, in the real world:

"Well, I just finished that Excel spreadsheet. I think I'll load music to my ipod and then have a round of Left4Dead 2."

How Linux users imagine it:

"ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG!!!! I JUST BOOTED INTO WINDOWS 2 MINUTES AGO AND I ALREADY HAD 10 BSODS, 200 VIRUS INFESTATIONS AND MS STOLE ALL THE PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM MY HD!!!!!! FUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

By the way, you should add SynapticRules(TM)... it deals with your repository point :o)
