      If you have Windows XP, why do you use linux?
      Basically I dont see any advantages to using linux over windows xp, Im dual booting windows
      and ubuntu. Ubuntu is nice and all but I dont see anything that would make me prefer it
      over windows.The only thing i have been using ubuntu for is web browsing playing
      music/movies (cant play games) which I can do better/hassle free in windows.
      So what are the advantages of l using linux over xp?

      Yes you are right, Windows offers a far greater selection of programs, games, etc hassle free, but you have to admit that security wise, most viruses and spyware aren’t targeted towards windows vista. But it’s all up to the personal views of the user. Honestly, I’d say Windows won’t be around forever, eventually it will fall. And chances are, Linux will be the one to step in and take it’s place. So it’s only a matter of time.
