Firstly, I'd like to preface this by saying that I run an old Red Hat 7.3 distro. It's not perfect, but its pretty good. Yes, I use linux, but there is a reason I'm not keen on upgrading.
I switched because Windows sucked, but MOSTLY because I didn't want MS to dictate how I use my computer. I saw Linux as a means of using the computer the way I saw fit.
