Yeah John i see the Johnism in the comment. I tend to agree, all though with out the dumb label thing I have had an overall great experience with Linux.

There are a few things it does not do well, but it is a solid system. That updates itself regularly for both function and safety, and it runs almost everything i need as good or better than windows.

One thing i like is i get a solid reasonably fast computer with a 8 year old machine. I have not had to upgrae the home machine in a long time, and it is fine. I downloaded all the BiaB stuff on the 2011.5 upgrade with no issues.

I actually prefer IE at work due to features over firefox, but it has really slowed down recently due to the latest update package.

Never used chrome google, and most likely never will.
