Yeah, you wouldn't want to learn anything new. That would be painful. ;)

ed, >>I used Window in my office, I used Window at home, many application programs in my HD can run very well with Window and I am very comfortable with the window O/S. Now it comes out some new OS called Linux, which I had never heard of, and not to mention the confidence in its performance ...etc. I really do not have the incentive to switch and take a lot of my time to learn that new OS and which does not make any sense to me at all. Sounds like the transition from DOS to WINDOWS arguments back in the late '80s. Nobody wanted to switch to Windows before Win3.1 for exactly the same reasons you have given for not wanting to switch to Linux. Linux is not for everyone just as Windows is not for everyone.
