“Linux offers a couple of important advantages over Windows NT:
It crashes less often and it’s free. However, Linux can be

peripheral devices and software programs and comes without
support–unless you pay upward of $1,000 for it.
“So why are many users choosing alternatives whose most
appealing quality may be that they are simply not from
Microsoft?”
