RE:QUESTION FOR YOU!!

If you want a pc for only specific important tasks and not for stuff like softwares , games , tweaking etc ..then one may opt for linux as it is 5 times less virus prone than windows so more secure ...it is cheaper ...
For many people, the right answer is simply that Linux is genuinely free. If you know Linux and already have a CD set, or can borrow one, you can install as many copies as you like without paying a nickel for licensing. Strictly speaking, therefore, a comparison between the cost of the Linux license and the cost of a Microsoft server operating system license should have a zero on the Linux side and some number greater than Rs 6000, depending on hardware, usage and the number of clients allowed, on the Windows side.
So , linux is not that bad to try , but mr. Gates allways lead the prefrences ...
