but the problem is that people who 'help' when u have issue install dodgy copies etc as is clear frm this an other threads.

The simple fact is there are so many 'versions' of windows that people don't often know what they have

e.g

XP
Home
Media Centre
Professional
Vista basic
Vista home premium
....
...

I give up

Whereas Linux... install one version and you have access to it all...........

e.g. on one install I statred with a basic Command line install of teh most basic system I could imagine. add a GUI - no probs, add decent GUI apps no probs, make it capable of everything including full WebServer and even J2EE appserver( proper geek level) again no issues...

that was on one full release version. then 3 months later there was a full releasae version available, full upgrade took less than 1 hour, no intervention.. reboot job done.

No license issues, nothing, no checks, no spyware, no Av, no malware, gosh, I'm even getting bored typing about the issues you lot go through.
