All Things Microsoft > Microsoft Software
Will you ever go back to M$ OS?

--- Quote from: Refalm ---From what I experienced, people don't want to change anything.
Take Firefox for example. It's better and faster, and it's fully usable by IE users, in the most scariest detail.
Still, people fear changing anything on their computer.

That's true. Any good arguments I could use to convince my father? (apart from being faster, better etc.)

Freedom. :thumbup:
I actually never mention "freedom" whenever I'm talking about GNU to non-techies, I just say "It's only right.", "Microsoft are only interested in money, not making good software.", etc.

If he is fine with Windows, why FORCE him to change?
Jenda:
Freedom in software is a concept most people outside the alternative-OS world will not understand easily.

Hrm.
Personally I don't try to convince anyone that GNU/Linux is the best operating system for them. Because: a) I am and elitest prick and I hate n00bs enough already without them phoning me with their Linux problems. b) It isn't the best operating system. c) It is up to them to goto the newsagents and buy a book explaining how to install and use a Linux system with a free copy of Fedora Core with it. Hell thats exactly how I got into Linux, I got one of those n00b books from the newsagents.
If people want to use Linux they can do it on their fucking own. I am willing to answer questions I see, as long as they arn't completely retarded, then I just ignore them.
