Consider why someone would intentionally choose a competing operating system to the predominant Windows opeating system; such as the choice of Macintosh computers to produce graphics in visually oriented industries.

1. Unix has NO virus definitions.
Microsoft has the "114,000 Microsoft Virus Definitions".
2. Unix was released in 1969, and Berkeley UC released the
Berkeley Software Distribution in 1984. Microsoft was a
kluged POS, that was released too early, by an overly
enthusiastic Bill Gates, in 1987. With his recent
resignation, it would seem his thrill is gone.
3. There are 500+ Unix clones. Imitation is the most sincere
form of flattery! http://pclinuxos.com or
http://distrowatch.com and http://livecdlist.com
for FREEdom of choice!

because the other one might work right, would you buy a car that constantly had to be taken to the dealership for safety and security updates? or a car that randomly decided when it would run and when it would give you an error code and lock up?
