I love Linux too...but malware alone is not really a reason to switch.
Agreed. Some people need to have Windows to run certain pieces of Software like the Watchtower library.
...oh wait, someone got that to work in WINE. Nevermind. :)
I switched because it's free, customizable, stable, light on resources, free of malware, doesn't phone home, no 'Linux Genuine Advantage', no Internet Explorer, no drwtsn32 (sorry, I had to!) Anyway, I should just shut up now.
