It's not only free, but it's also free. =)

There are many advantages that speak for Linux/BSD-based operating systems:

• much more stable
• much more secure
• a lot more open to the user (Windows programs are known to lie)
• many free programs are better than their Windows counterparts
• less expensive (mostly free)
• more flexible (have you ever removed the task bar in Windows?)
• a lot faster (have you read the system requirements for Vista?)

What if you use a text based system?

It's not only Windows, but it's also:

• Nero
• SmartFTP
• Winamp
• mIRC
• ICQ
• the X-Files image, which reminds me of the X-Box.

The most disturbing factors are bolded. Your system is the perfect example for a worst-case scenario. =)

that office assistant made me laugh out load in computer class.

Newer versions are very resource-intensive. Winamp 2 used to be one of the best players available for Windows, but even then XMMS is much better.

Naaah! I use winamp 3.xx because the next versions don't have the Autoplay on Startup option. 5.xx verions suck! And XMMS - it's good but nos as goot as Winamp (maby because I'm used to it).

I agree with mm_freak about winamp, in the beginning winamp wasn't that "big", it didn't take you many resources. But now it's like you can't start any other programs aside from winamp. It's even worse when you are using the new skins.

Last week I've discovered a player - Apollo Player. It's not bad . Try it if you want!

all windows desktops look alike? seen one with FC4 running in QEMU?????
