Why you will soon be using Linux instead of Microsoft products

Why I like KDE graphical desktop environment:

WizarDave recommends KDE

• I like the file "explorer" better
• I like the menuing system better
• GNOME perhaps is the "prettier" desktop
• KDE definitely has more functionality
  Even though you may not use everything it provides
• KDE has a built in web browser, yet I prefer using Firefox.
• KDE has KOffice, yet I prefer using OpenOffice.org's offering.
• KDE has KMail, yet I prefer using Mozilla's Thunderbird
• KDE is highly configurable:
• Choose themes: windows looks, backgrounds, icons, color schemes...
• Choose preferences like single or double click to load programs...
• Choose how many "virtual" desktops
  I run 6: Internet, Filesharing, email, games, work, admin

Other notes:

• Other desktops can be installed on your Linux system.
  You choose which desktop to load when you log in.
• Even though some Linux programs are programmed for specific desktops
  (KDE or gnome)
  they work from either.
  Example: You can run Kgames from the GNOME desktop

Fixing minor annoyances with KDE:

• NumLock is off by default on startup

It's all about having choices
That's one of the biggest reasons I prefer Linux over Windoze.
