-According to this obviously biased site, when should people stick with Windows?
-Which are the three most compelling reasons to migrate to Linux, according to the web site ? Elaborate on each.
Based on this baised site people should stick with Windows if you are a hardcore gamer, if you work in the book/printing industry, if there is proprietary software you can't live without, and if your hardware is not yet supported.
One of the most compelling reasons to migrate to Linux is because Linux hardly has any viruses. Linux makes it very for it to get a virus. On Window programs you and any program that you install in it has the right to do pretty much anything you want to the system. This allows viruses to get into your computer and mess it up.Every time you request to do something that has to do with the system, an administrator password is required (and if you're not an administrator on this system, you simply can't do it). Viruses can't just go around and delete or modify what they want in the system; they don't have the authorization for that.
Another compelling reason to migrate to Linux is that you don't have to copy software illegally. Linux lets you install software for free, so you don't have to worry about getting caught by software makers. Software makers are progressing and finding more and more ways to track down illegal owners, and since more and more people tend to have broadband (permanent) connections, they might add an online functionality on the software that will control and verify your copy each time you launch it. If you switch to Linux you won't have to worry about this problem.
The third reason that you should migrate to Linux is because Linux always operates at the same speed. Windows becomes slower and slower each year because it has a number of design flaws in it. Reinstalling Windows solves the problem... until next time. With Linux you'll be surprised that five years from now your system will be just as fast and responsive as the day you installed it, not to mention that you won't have any viruses, adwares, trojans, worms, etc., that would force you reinstall anyway.
