Re: Why do you choose Ubuntu over Windows
A few reasons;
1) I mostly work away from home connected to networks with varied protocols and *wildly* varying security. That is not in any way a windows-friendly environment and the security advantage is a huge deal. 2) I have some programming experience => I love the terminal *hugs terminal* 3) I actually need more *nix-only software than windows-only. 4) I'll be damned if I paid through the nose for an ssd only to allow the delays induced by antivirus/antispyware/firewall/other crap dull it's effect. Even office 2007 is faster for me under ubuntu/wine than it's under win7. I laugh when reading in windows forums that "the ssd made only a slight difference".
