Linux? You mean that CLI thing? 9. My hardware doesn't meet the requirements. 8. It is so restrictive, can't do anything without root password. 7. Whenever I'm settled on a particular distribution, a new one appears. 6. It's incomplete. It lacks the Disk Defragment Utility 5. My files were infected by a Virus. 4. Does not turn off automatically. I always need to do that manually. 3. Security is too tight. Sometimes I can't even access my files. 2. Updates and Patches (Evolution of software) speed is faster than my broadband speed. 1. I couldn't find a CD-Key or Crack. Item 8 and Item 3 made me think of you. If anyone doesn't understand why any of these are ridiculous, I can explain why and contrast that with the ridiculous/restrictive way that Windoze does things.
