Well, nice effort, but amateur laid out article, typos and grammar,.. I doubt who will take such articles seriously to make an OS changing decision.
"People still consider Linux to Commands Line and OS meant for geeks and professionals.."

@ Darky: I really appreciate your efforts buddy. Keep the good work up. I have one suggestion though - is it possible for you to get someone to proof-read your articles (checking grammar/sentence flow etc.) ? I am sure your articles are going to rock then :)
