I do like Linux, I trust the stability and security of it over Windows,

desktop PC (unfortunately). Linux is used like UNIX servers- it is used
for critical systems such as radiology and security systems.

We find that many big corporations are rapidly accepting FOSS - often
Suse,
Ubuntu and Red Hat. Microsoft "operating systems" and software are not
sufficiently reliable and secure enough for real business use.

Windows is OK for games, as long as it's not connected to the 'net, but
simply isn't good enough for serious use.
