You can actually run quite a lot of games of Linux using Transgaming or even Wine.

I'm still running a dual-boot PC btw, but this has more to do with the fact that 3dS MAX, Maya, AutoCad 2005 and ArchCAD 9 don't run in Linux (I must admit though I haven't really giving installing them all a try because I couldn't be bothered).

Nah. :whistle:

Yeah there are ways no doubt, but that would require more learning rather just take the lazy/easy way out least for me anyway. :bleh:

Switch to Linux? No thanks - I have a job!

I'd definitely do it. Faster, more stable, way more secure. And the "learning to use it" isnt a problem since I already have to use it every day at uni (I.T. student)

But I'm too much into the latest games, so I have to stay with XP.

Linux is not hard to use, just get a good distribution like ubuntu or debian and install it, they all come with a desktop so there is not a lot you need to learn.

But you can't deny that you do need to have at least some computer knowledge in order to be able to run it. Windows, on the other hand, was designed by idiots for idiots - OK, maybe I'm being a bit too harsh here...

[Nikson]

You are. It was designed by idiots for lazy people

No, I still hate having to set everything up on Linux. It might well be safer and faster, but out of pure apathy I can't be bothered.

New Linux distro's like Ubuntu do not have to be set up like before. It now works just like Windows. You install, and you are ready for use. The only reason I still use Windows is the games I want to run.
