i think its good that not everyone is moving linux. coz. if 90% of microsoft users comes to linux. then linux might become another microsoft....
but any ways keep it up for linux users and keep using it.....

Thaank you friend for the good links..
But IMO switching to Linux is hard...your softwares dont work you will have to start everything from scratch...
one more thing to fear you are a novice when starting Linux..

Very well said knight17. trying out the OS is one thing, but trying out all the programs with it in another. Most of us all, including me, are used to windows. Lots of ppl use Linux too, but windows too. So its kinda hard to work from scratch. Cause then you have to give your whole time, learning the new OS and its programs.

Look at the +ve side ....atleast 43 saw it!! Slow n steady wins the race. When I first installed and started learning *nix......I inspired ma friends in college. Then the chain spread exponentially. In 2 months 5 of mah friends installed * nix and still have it installed. Then in 4-6 months atleast 15 of mah frnds started using *nix.
With newer distros every 1 month, graphics booming,new apps and hardware support increasing it wont take much time now for ppl to wake up.
I saw in some articel that linux is spreading fast in India,Europe,US etc

How did you ever come to that conclusion? Think again, cons are never repeated.
