Its all about weighing
the options. After having linux installed on my comp for over a
semester, I finally made a move for migration. But such a drastic
step must not be taken blindly so I jotted down the pros n cons –
CONS
Inertia...after having used windows for about 10 years..its down in the bones.
why fix what aint broken(too much)?
much less user-friendly i would say no matter what
have to figure out everything by my self.
many totally unexpected problems arise...tho solutions are almost always available on net....
not a very nice net connection(to say the least) of our almighty hostel.
compatibility problems....everyone else is using windows unless u make them switch..
GAMES dont run
well,
in the end...it takes a turning point...for it it was brought upon by
the even increasing no of viruses on my comp, turning the brute into a
wimp. Also, the especially annoying property of windows that you hardly
know whats wrong when somethings wrong. And after all, for every
student studying to be an engineer, tux should be a pal if he is to be
worth his salt.

Pros
Stop being a software
pirate.
no more windows surprises.
dont have to restart after every little change.
learn more...i guess
NO VIRUSES
no hundreds of services n settings u will never need and not the one you want.
excellent awesome community and repository of how-tos, help and tutorials.
no annoying popups every now and then.
several freeware options in linus are i believe better and more precise than windows commercial versions.
supposed to be an excellent programming platform[:D]
geek factor.
faster than windows..and a specially designed 64 bit version...which fits nicely
