I think it is great that we have a choice and to each it's own. IMO there is no sense in trying to convert a windows user. For me I have been using windows product for over 20 years.
Uhhhmmm, 20 yeards ago there wasn't Windows, Dos was just starting, and Sinclair Computers were the best to be had. :)
I have only begun to use Linux. My 1st impression is that so far I prefer windows along with all that 3rd part support. I'm just giving you my 1st observations. Perhaps things will change in the future just like windows did for DOS and the ole Timex/Apple computer.
Do yourself a favour and look at a number of distributions, and read the reviews of various distro's in Linux magazines. It really is all about choice, even at the level of the Distribution. The members of my Linux/Unix user group has a number of differing Distro's being used.
From BSD to Gentoo, and even Debian.
