Who is a Candidate for Desktop Linux? | |

As I said in earlier post last month, the work that I do in my professional life requires that I still need to use Windows and various Microsoft and 3rd-party Win32 applications, even though I also use Linux. I also use various applications in my personal life that have no true functional Windows equivalents, so I have both Windows and Linux computers at home. However, my situation is somewhat out of the ordinary. I don’t expect that most regular end-users have or need more than one personal computer at home or at work. Additionally, as an Information Technology professional and as a writer who covers the industry that I work in, I choose to use multiple systems with different operating systems at home for educational purposes and also because I have a genuine curiosity about what is out there in both the Open Source and Microsoft-centric worlds. That’s not necessarily a realistic usage scenario for everyone. | ||

I was seriously thinking of using openSuSe 11.1 (.2) as my main system to replace Vista. That was until I got Windows 7 installed. I don't think I've started up Linux (even a virtual machine) since. Windows 7 just rocks. Its fast as all heck and I don't see myself considering going back.
