Regardless of what version is installed, or where it came from, a Linux machines will work. There is no risk of losing functionality. Vista, on the other hand, relies on Windows Genuine Advantage servers to verify its serial number. And when the servers go down, as it did recently, Vista users worldwide are locked out of their computers running legitimate copies of Windows Vista. Never would have happened with Linux.
5. Get the apps, already: Increasing number of available applications for Linux have made it easier to get away from bloated Windows applications.
Dislike the ribbon? Abandon Microsoft Office and come over to Open Office. It has no ribbon and it offers standards-compliant document formats.
Vista still ships with the cruddy picture editor, Paint. Most Linux distributions come with GIMP 2.2, a powerful application similar to Adobe's Photoshop in terms of it features.
Considering all the trouble Internet Explorer has with security and rendering pages correctly, Linux users don't miss it. Mozilla meets their needs.
So there you have it. Linux is better than Vista. Doesn't seem to be getting anywhere with that world domination plan, though.
